Lucy,
You’re right about flax oil; it definitely should not be used for cooking. However, the internal temp of these muffins in the oven should only get to about 150-170, which won’t damage the fats in the flax. I think. There are so many recipes for baking with flax, and I don’t think I would have missed warnings about baking with flax. Hope that helps! Katie

I’ve always been confused about something and I’m really hoping you can help clear it up….

Is it okay to heat flax seeds? I’ve tried to find some information on it but what I’ve found seems so conflicting???? Most sites say that you should definitely not heat flax seed oil as it becomes rancid but what about in a recipe like this where you’re just using the ground seeds?

[...] snacks for the week….or snacks for a few days, depending on how good they are. I’m LOVING this Banana Flax Muffin right now. Muffins and sweet breads (with whole wheat flour and natural sugars) are a great snack [...]

Stacy,
Here’s a formula for how to bake with honey. I imagine molasses would be similar, but I think using 100% molasses in baking would be overpowering. I’d use a few Tbs. with the honey myself. Katie

Hi this looks delicious. I’ve tried many recipes on your site. Wondering: if we wanted to use molasses what the ratio of substitution would be here? Or honey…

thanks,

Love your site! I’m making your Tuscan Bean Soup tonight.
Coincidentally, I recently posted a similar recipe that I have upgraded over the past few years. Great minds think alike!

We made these for breakfast this morning and added some chopped raw almonds (since I was out of walnuts) and unsweetened coconut chips. They were a hit with everyone, even my husband who doesn’t like bananas!
