Notes

Substitutions for these Healthy Lemon Chia Seed Muffins:
  • If you don't want to flax eggs you can use 2 regular 
  • If you don't have flax seed meal, you can pulse flax seeds in a food processor or blender until they are fine.
  • You can sub maple syrup with honey
  • I haven't tried making these muffins gluten free, but you may be able to substitute whole wheat flour with gluten free flour
