Molassy Oat Flax Muffins Recipe

Consider adding crystallized ginger for an extra burst of zing!

How to Make Molassy Oat Flax Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken (flax egg).
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a third bowl, cream together the brown sugar and molasses.
  5. Add the wet ingredients (flax egg and molasses mixture) to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and crystallized ginger (if using).
  7. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
