Cherry Flax Muffins

Flax seeds are almost entirely fiber, so they are low-carb as well as roughage. Flax is high in omega-3 fats, which is why the fat count is so high. Omega-3 fats are extremely healthy, so don't fret about the high fat content.

Cherry Flax Muffins

2 cups flax
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
5 eggs
½ cup water
1/3 cup oil
1 cup chopped cherries

Preheat oven to 350 F. Oil a muffin tin or baking sheet. Mix dry ingredients, then add wet and mix well. Add cherries last*. Let everything sit for about 3-4 minutes. Then put in baking dish and cook for 16 minutes.

*You could use any fruit in these muffins.
