These zingy whole wheat muffins, with flax seed and a touch of applesauce, make a tasty breakfast or snack for days when you're on-the-go.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 ½ cups halved cranberries
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. 2. Mix flour, sugar, flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat eggs, milk, applesauce, lemon juice and canola oil in another bowl until smooth. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until just moistened; fold in cranberries. Fill prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
