Even less bad for you muffins.

I modified the recipe, below, to make it less "carb-y," vegan, and a little lower fat.  See below the line.


The original from
Swistle's Whole-Wheat Pumpkin Peanut-Butter Chocolate-Chip Flax-Seed-Meal Muffins
1/3 cup flax seed meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
someone's partially-eaten banana, mashed up, OR 1/4 cup applesauce
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup peanut butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips





My modifications

2/3 cup ground flax
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 - 1/2 cup xylitol 

(I made it with 1/2 cup and it was a tad sweet for me, but the girls loved them. We'll see if I try them with less)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Ener-G Egg Replacer equivalent to 2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 banana
1/2 cup PB2 

1/4 cup real PB
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 - 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
(Note, no butter necessary.  You have plenty of fat with the flax and PB!)





Enjoy!
