Flax Goodies

momov2boys · 10-28-2006, 07:04 AM

I

my versions of cocoa flax cookies and flax muffins. I make a batch of each, almost every week.

Do any of you have other flax recipes that you really like and would share?

-Thanks

I love chocolate peanut butter Dobie muffins. I eat them often. Lately I've been throwing in some shredded coconut, and next time I may try some chopped nuts in it. They are excellent warmed and covered with butter.

I've been having a big flax pancake for breakfast everyday lately.

2 eggs
1 packet splenda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2T flax meal

Mix well and cook like a pancake. I cook half of it at a time to get 2 pancakes and I splash a little blueberry DaVinci's on it and spread with one ounce cream cheese as well. Yummmmm!

Thanks for this recipe. I've been making a fairly complex flax pancake recipe that made way too many pancakes, and I really couldn't scale it down because the ingredients were odd quantities.

Single serving flax bread

I got the original idea/recipe from the spongebob bread thread ad here is what I have ended up with..

In a 2 cup glass measuring cup add the following:

4 tbsp flaxmeal (I use golden flax seeds and grind them)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp DaVinci's

Optional additions: 1-2T chopped pecans or other nuts, 1-2T sf chocolate chips, 1-2T unsweetened coconut, 1T cocoa powder

Mix dry ingredients then add wet ingredients. Cover and microwave for 1 minute and 35 seconds (this is the time for my microwave, you may have to adjust)

Put it on a plate and top with cream cheese.

You can use different flavors of DaVinci's. It's really good if you use DaVinci's caramel and nuts, or DaVinci's lemon and fresh blueberries. I like to make it with cocoa powder and raspberry DaVinci's.

Use your imagination! I've used different extracts or fruits (if allowed on your plan).

momov2boys · 10-28-2006, 11:14 AM

Sure

Cocoa Flax Cookies:

2 eggs (I use Egg Beaters)
1/2 C Davinci's (I use chocolate)
1 C Flaxseed meal
1/2 teaspoon bak pow
1/2 teaspoon bak soda
4 level Tablespoons cocoa powder
(sometimes I also add cinnamon; I love cinnamon!)

Bake @ 350 for ~10 minutes (on parchment paper or Pam sprayed sheet)

I get: 38 cals, 2.4 gm fat, 2.9 carb, 2.25 fiber, 2.33 prot/ per 1 of 16 cookies

We love these cold from the fridge!!!

momov2boys · 10-28-2006, 11:22 AM

Flaxseed Meal Muffins:

1 C Egg Beaters
1 C any flavor Davinci's
2 C Flaxseed meal
1 t bak pow
1 t bak soda

Spray 12 muffin cups with Pam
Bake @ 350 for ~40 minutes

I get: 90 cals, 6 gm fat, 5.67 carb, 5.33 fiber, 6 prot / per 1 of 12 muffins

We love these cold from the fridge, too

abercrombie3f · 10-28-2006, 11:27 AM

those sounds soo good!

Alison Jean 71 · 10-28-2006, 03:17 PM

I am going to try the Cocoa Flax Cookie. I have been making the Almond muffin recipe you posted. I have eaten them daily and make a new batch the minute I eat the last one. I love love love them. Today I bought some banana extract for my next batch. I am addicted.

momov2boys · 10-28-2006, 04:19 PM

Side note: Alison, I can't PM you so:
I'm thrilled you like the almond muffins so much; so do we

I had two of them after dinner (banana/cinnamon).
I think you'll really like the banana ones

decodiana · 10-28-2006, 08:09 PM

Could you please post a link to the almond muffin recipe?

momov2boys · 10-29-2006, 02:59 AM

Here's the link to the original thread:
Almond Meal Muffins

***However, I now use 1 C Egg Beaters and bake for ~40 minutes.

This brings calories down to 130, fat 10, carbs 3.67, fiber 2.4, prot 6.67.
Like most LC treats, I like these best cold from the fridge

Patlaf · 10-29-2006, 04:03 AM

Linda's flaxmeal pancake is really, really good. It is my favorite breakfast. Can't wait to try her single serving flaxbread. I'm only afraid I'll wind up have two breakfasts when faced with the difficulty in deciding on one of them.

LindaSue · 10-29-2006, 05:28 AM

Here are my favorites:

Banana Walnut Muffins
Flax Sandwich Buns
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Orange Pecan Muffins
Coconut Macaroon Muffins

decodiana · 10-29-2006, 11:14 AM

LindaSue,

Just wanted to say how much I LOVE your lemon poppyseed muffins. I'll be trying the other flavors soon. You're the best!

DENMW · 10-29-2006, 06:15 PM

I like to make a hot cereal using 2 T flaxseed meal, 1 scoop soy protein powder, cinnamon, splenda. Mix with water and microwave for 1 -2 mn. Mixture should be watery as it thickens as it cooks.

I also like several recipes from Linda Sue's recipe board
Flax sandwich buns
Flax garlic onion flatbread
Tyler's most awesome individual pizza crust

How many eggs make 1 C Egg Beaters?

momov2boys · 10-30-2006, 06:00 PM

I would use 5 eggs, that's what the original recipe called for.
(I'm sure 4 eggs would be fine, too!)

1/4 C Egg Beaters = ~1 whole egg.

I made this for myself this morning. Put butter and sugar free syrup on it and thought it was wonderful. Looks like a pancake but tastes to me more like French Toast. I added a bit of vanilla to the mix before frying.

I have my new favorite breakfast. Thank you.

fauntlen · 11-01-2006, 06:27 AM

I made your version of the flax muffins and was quite pleased! They were moist and had a nice texture. Thanks for posting!

magnamater · 11-01-2006, 06:45 AM

Anyone tried the flax pancake recipe in a waffle iron by adding oil or butter to the mix???

IMWTK!
