I reach for these Oat Flour Muffins with Berries and Pistachios because I love to pack my muffins with berries and nuts so they become nutritional wonders; a balanced source of good carbs as well as proteins. I tend to keep the sugars low, so if you like your life sweet, just add more. As always, this is yet another gluten-free, egg-free muffin recipe.
See, there is [good] life after gluten.

The instructions say to mix the flax meal with water but there isn’t a water amount given
Hi Raelyn Noel,
2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp of water (this will replace the eggs). Thank you for pointing this out 🙂
In number 2, you say to use water. How much water? It’s not specified in the ingredient list. Thank you
Hi Jennell Houts,
2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp of water (this will replace the eggs). Please let us know how you like them 🙂
What is flaxseed meal? I usually put ground flaxseed in my smoothies every morning…
thank you!
WHAT DO YOU GREASE THE MUFFIN PANS WITH?
Sorry – so do the berries and pistachios get added in steps 3 and/or 4 or step 5?
Hi Laura, you can add in the berries and pistachios in between step 4 and 5. Be sure to mix them in well before transferring to the baking dish. ~HB Support
Does it make any difference the type of pistachios you use? Are they supposed to be raw, roasted, salted?
Hi Elizabeth, ideally, raw, organic pistachios are best. Enjoy! HB Support
