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.

WHAT DO YOU GREASE THE MUFFIN PANS WITH?
What is flaxseed meal? I usually put ground flaxseed in my smoothies every morning…
thank you!
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 🙂
The instructions say to mix the flax meal with water but there isn’t a water amount given
