The addition of flaxseed flour to baking gives not only a brown tint to the dough, but also a delicate, slightly moist structure to the products. In addition, it increases the usefulness of the dish due to healthy fats, proteins and fiber. Such muffins can be a good alternative to morning porridge or a healthy dessert for those who follow their figure. The crumb turned out a little wet, but surprisingly very tender and light, not at all heavy.

1. Required products: flaxseed flour, oatmeal (I have oatmeal ground in a coffee grinder), cranberries, chicken eggs, baking powder, vanillin, salt and honey (also works great with stevia).

2. Separate the whites from the yolks. We don't need yolks. Combine egg whites with salt and baking powder. Let stand for a while for a reaction to occur. Whisk into a light foam.

3. Add honey and flaxseed.

4. Mix well. The dough will be very thick.

5. Add boiling water, mix until the lumps disappear. Add oatmeal and vanilla and mix again. Stir in the cranberries carefully.

6. Arrange the dough in forms and bake in an oven preheated to 160-180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

7. Ready cupcakes can be smeared with milk or strong sweet tea, or you can leave it like that.

8. These cupcakes can be served as a dessert or as an independent dish for a snack or breakfast. The crumb turns out a little moist and dense, but juicy and tender.

Happy tea!

One minute muffins for busy people November 15th, 2016

In the American media, I read about the developer of a new diet in America, Jorge Cruz.
Jorge Kruse is a New York Times bestselling author with more than a million copies published in 15 languages ​​in a year.
Jorge Cruz argues that you should not restrict yourself too much in food. You should eat three times a day, but quite densely. It is important to remember that your diet must be balanced, so that you get enough proteins, fats and carbohydrates from food, which our body needs for normal functioning, to maintain health
Out of everything I've read, this recipe intrigued me. Slim Muffin by Jorge.
Why are ingredients such as flaxseed meal, coconut oil, stevia chosen……

Here is how Jorge's choice explains it:

> “Traditional muffin recipes are high in carbs.
> The food you eat raises your blood sugar.
> The concentration of glucose in the blood reaches its peak one to two hours after a meal,
> and then begins to decline rapidly, requiring a new portion of food.
> & Flaxseed muffins are designed to provide sustained energy levels that will last until lunchtime.
> You get saturated fats from coconut oil, as well as flax fiber and egg protein.”
PROMPT: if there is a problem with buying coconut oil, you can replace it with vegetable oil, just increase the amount of oil a little.
In general, the Internet now simplifies the purchase of the most exotic products.
But this will slightly reduce the usefulness of the muffin. (For reference: coconut oil contains 86.5% saturated fatty acids, palm oil 49%, olive 13%.)

A little information about the new ingredients in our nutrition: flaxseed meal, stevia, coconut milk

Coconut oil widely used in cooking, especially for frying and the general flavor in South Asia is a lot of curries.
In recent years, coconut oil has become increasingly popular among vegetarian food products. The butter has a "nutty," flavor that also has a slight sweetness and works well in baked goods and confectionery.

It removes fat accumulations from the body, and the presence of silicon trace elements in it helps to increase the elasticity of blood vessels and strengthen teeth.

The calculation of products is given for exactly three cupcakes!

Flaxseed flour is soft. Cupcakes are tall, porous, do not lose their shape after cooling. But only real flaxseed flour is suitable for them, and not ground flaxseed. My Biomax yogurt is unsweetened, in my opinion it is better than Activia, because it is less acidic (homemade yogurt also turns out to be much tastier). The portion of a cream leaves 30 g can be a little? Can be doubled, calculations below.

Nutritional value of products:

Flaxseed muffins with cream, nutritional value:

Some people are mistaken in considering ground flaxseeds as flour. Almost half of the composition in the seeds is oil. And real flaxseed flour comes out after degreasing the seeds, and this is done in an industrial way. Flour processed in this way is stored for a long time and does not lose its properties.

Rye and wheat flour are inferior to flaxseed flour in terms of usefulness. It is low in calories, low in carbohydrates, but high in protein and fiber. Such bread needs very little to saturate and they do not get better from it. Flaxseed is good for digestion. The fiber in its composition cleans the intestines like a brush and heals it. It also lowers cholesterol, has a beneficial effect on blood vessels and prevents the formation of fatty deposits.

A minimum of 25 grams of fiber daily is recommended to protect against cancer. This means that only 80 g of flaxseed meal is approximately the daily dose. It contains lignans - hormone-like substances that prevent the growth of cancer cells.

Flaxseed flour is rich in elements such as zinc and selenium, phosphorus and iron. No less important components of flaxseed flour are vitamins A, B and E. Just like folic acid, it is a vegetable protein that is of great importance in the process of hematopoiesis. Magnesium is needed for the successful absorption of potassium and calcium in the body. Its deficiency is harmful to the heart and bones. Flaxseed flour contains all three components, and in useful oatmeal, as in buckwheat, magnesium and calcium are ten times less. And bananas, compared to flaxseed flour, lose seven times in potassium content.

Phytoestrogens are another important component. These are natural hormones that are needed for rejuvenation, slowing down menopause and the normal functioning of all female organs.

Omega-6 and Omega-3, healthy fatty acids, act in the same direction.

Contraindications and warnings

It is believed that flax flour has no contraindications. But flaxseed has a strong choleretic effect. Therefore, with pancreatitis, colitis or cholecystitis, flaxseed flour should be used carefully. And if there are stones in the organs, flax can provoke their movement. It is better to start using this product under the supervision of a doctor.

Recipes for weight loss

"What would you like to eat to lose weight?" - There is a very serious answer to this comic question: baking from flaxseed flour. That is, losing weight is both satisfying and tasty. And the flour itself has long been used for these purposes as an additive to ready meals. It can be meat dishes or lean. It is well suited both for breading and for sauces or soups as a thickener. It is very convenient, in which part of the cereal (no more than half) is replaced with flax flour. Such food will help cleanse and improve the body. And this is the first thing that is required to expel extra pounds.

Flaxseed mucus acts as a laxative. It activates intestinal motility and cleanses it well. For example, it is good to replace breakfast with a cocktail or sour cream. And to ensure a constant cleansing process, you can use this mixture before bedtime. The intestines will heal even at night. Or even take a cocktail twice, the first time instead of dinner - with honey or raisins, and the second time - before bedtime.

Linen cocktail

Flaxseed flour (1 tsp) is poured with slightly warmed water and infused for ten minutes. You can add warm water and drink.

In obese people, the stomach is usually distended. To give him the opportunity to "pull", you should not overfill him with food. To do this, ten minutes before a meal, you can drink half a glass of a flaxseed flour cocktail with water. It will give a feeling of satiety. And if you do this even after eating, then he will not allow everything superfluous and unnecessary to be assimilated.
If you do not forget about physical activity and a balanced diet, flaxseed flour will help you win the fight against extra pounds.
