How do you make muffins without eggs?

My favorite egg substitute for muffins is a “flax egg”. You can make your own flax egg by mixing one tablespoon (7g) of ground flax with two and a half tablespoons of water. Personally, I freshly ground my flaxseeds before making a flax egg, using an electric coffee grinder. This is because ground flaxseeds tend to go rancid quite quickly. 

Tip: Store your flaxseeds and other seeds in the fridge to keep them fresher for longer.

Do these muffins make for a nutritiously well-balanced breakfast?

These muffins are packed with fiber in the form of predominantly fruit and whole-wheat bread flour. These muffins are perfectly enjoyed with a protein shake to uplift the nutritional value of this meal. Remember, it is important to make sure to have a good amount of fiber, protein, and fats in your main meals. This helps keep you satiated for longer, balances blood sugar, and prevents cravings between meals.

Storage recommendation

You can either store your 12 muffins in a large 2L container, such as this Sistema Klip It 2L rectangular container or you can store them per two in smaller containers. The key is to use a container with a snap lid so that they remain optimally fresh. These muffins will easily last for five days in the fridge!
