I wanted to have a healthier alternative than using all purpose flour so I decided to use coconut flour. Baking with coconut four can be tricky, these muffins came together nicely. Looking for a dessert or breakfast muffin, that is gluten free and yet very delicious. These muffins are moist packed with three very nutritious seeds.

Here are the powers of these seeds:

Flax seeds: One tablespoon of ground flaxseed has 2.3 grams of fiber, a fantastic source of alpha-linolenic (ALA). These little seeds may also lower cholesterol. Key nutrients are alpha-linolenic acid, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin E, folate, magnesium, and lignans.

Chia seeds: High in antioxidants.Key nutrients are fiber,protein, fat,calcium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus,zinc, vitamin B3, potassium, vitamin B1,and vitamin B2.

Hempseed:Hemp seeds are a great source of protein and contain all the essential amino acids. Key nutrient are fiber, protein, monounsaturated fat, omega-3 fats, omega-6 fats, manganese, vitamin B1, and magnesium.
