Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Ingredients:
1/4 cup flax seed -- milled
1 cup flour, whole-grain wheat
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup sugar substitute
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 egg whites -- beaten
1 1/2 cups apples -- peeled, cored & finely chopped (your choice)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup milk, 1% lowfat
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, English

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray 12 cup muffin tin with Pam and set aside.

Mix together the milled flax seed, flours, sugar substitute (I use splenda) ,baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine egg whites, canola oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apple chunks and nuts.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 10 minutes, turn the heat down to 400°F, and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
