high fiber muffins

I made bran muffins today and was going to have one for breakfast. I had two. I’ve never been able to eat just one even thought they have a lot of fiber. There’s something so tasty about the combination of molasses, cinnamon, and vanilla, especially with a glass of cold milk. There are a lot of reasons to eat fiber. It can reduce blood pressure and inflammation, as well as the risk of type 2 diabetes. Fiber protects your heart, prevents constipation, and it keeps you feeling full so it helps with weight loss too.

But the best reason to eat these muffins is they are really delicious and easy to make. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

How do I love this muffin? Let me count the ways…

1)  Fiber. Lots and lots of fiber to keep you full longer and help with weight loss.

2)  Heart-healthy olive oil. Who makes muffins with olive oil? I do!

3)  Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids to protect the heart.

4)  Flaxseeds are rich in lignans, which protect against breast and prostate cancer.

5)  Flaxseeds reduce inflammation.

6)  Flaxseeds have lots of antioxidants.

7)  Super easy recipe.

Even if they didn’t have this many health benefits, I would still eat these flaxseed muffins because… well they are darn tasty. – Jenny Jones
