Heather – True true! But, they’re for the kiddies, really. And, there’s so little sugar in the whole thing! You could probably substitute with agave nectar, too….

MTM – I don’t know how much flax is too much, to be honest. I’ve been meaning to look into it, and I use it sparingly because I’m not sure. The amount in this recipe is very little, though. I sometimes mix walnuts with flaxseeds — both have omega 3s, just to mix it up a bit. My guideline really is bread: I try to sprinkle on less than a piece of bread would contain; also, if you put too much in their food, they taste it, and they usually don’t like it! I’ll look into it more, though.

I’ve read that applesauce is a good egg replacement as well. I’ve tried it and it works very well – keeps baked goodies moist and still acts as a binding agent (like eggs).

Those muffins sound awesome, can’t wait to try them out!

Question for you, when my Little Man is old enough for muffins–is there a limit as to how much flax seed that is healthy for him or young children in general?
