Ingredients
1/3 | cup | flaxseeds |
1 3/4 | cups | all-purpose flour |
2 | tsp. | baking powder |
1/2 | tsp. | baking soda |
1 | tsp. | cinnamon |
1/2 | tsp. | ground ginger |
1/4 | tsp. | ground cloves |
1/4 | tsp. | salt |
1 1/2 | cups | low-fat buttermilk |
1/2 | cup | Splenda brown sugar blend |
3 | Tbsp. | canola oil |
2 | large | eggs |
1/2 | cup | golden raisin |
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Spread the flaxseeds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the flaxseeds from the baking sheet, place in a food processor or grinder, and process until ground.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, brown sugar, oil, and eggs and beat well.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in the raisins.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins stand for 5 minutes and then turn the muffins out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
