Flaxseed Walnut Cups

Flaxseed walnut cups

This is the easiest and healthiest breakfast or snack cup on my recipe list. It only take 5 min of preparation time and 15 min of baking. It would not even need baking it you do not use egg. However, I recommend baking it. The uncooked flaxseed may cause upset stomach to some people. Anyways, this is food that is great for breakfast or snack, full of fibres and good fats from nuts and seeds. See the nutritional information at the end of this page for more details. It makes me happy to see there are more grams of fibre than carbs in one of these cups. Can we call it a negative carbs food then? Because if you subtract grams of fiber from carbs, its -1gram of carbs! 

Before starting to mix items, preheat the oven to 315 F and mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl with a sturdy spatula because the dough may be tough to mix. After everything is mixed well, divide the dough into 12 portions. You can use muffin baking pan or silicone muffin cups or use silicone cups or silicon cups in baking cups. The point I am trying to make here is that these flaxseed walnut cups do not expand and shrink during baking. They stay the way you put them in the baking cups. Press the dough gently to fit in the baking cups and place in the middle of the oven. This is just the way I do it to evenly bake the cups.
