I am so excited to share this recipe with you. Before I do, I want to share the background to developing this recipe.
A client needed a grab-and-go breakfast she could eat in the car while dropping her kids off at school and keep her full during her workout. The challenge was gluten, oat, dairy and egg free. I will admit I have been dragging my feet on making baked good without eggs.
Gluten free baked goods tend to crumble and eggs are a great binder. However, they aren’t necessary. I like to use a combination of two egg substitutes when I’m baking. For this recipe, I use flax eggs and baking soda and vinegar. It worked out fabulously!
They turned out FAN-tastic. They hold together nicely, no crumbling, the texture is divine and they are delicious. My taste testers loved them. Definitely a win.

Parsley Cauliflower “Rice”
I’m looking for a muffin similar to this but using more flax and less almond flour. I really like the carrot raisin Flax4life muffins that they sell at Natural Grocers and Whole Foods. Do you have any recipes that are more like that?
These are SO GOOD! I made them with 1/2 blueberries and 1/2 diced strawberries and they are great!
I’m SO happy to hear that you like them and made them your own. I am sure it will inspire others to add a variety of mix-in’s
I love, love this recipe. This is the first eggless muffin recipe that I tried that completely hit the spot. The honey was just the right amount of sweetener, and the whole taste experience was delightful. Thank you for this, and I look forward to trying more eggless wonders from you.
