1/4 Cup Ground Flaxseed
1 tsp Salt

1.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease the muffin tins (or put down cupcake liners).


2.  In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the blueberries.  Stir until very well mixed, and then stir in the blueberries until combined. 

3.  Spoon batter evenly into 18 muffin cups (should be enough batter to fill each cup mostly to the top). 

4.  Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Be careful not to overcook. 

5.  You can eat immediately.  Otherwise, store in the fridge (and microwave when ready to eat), or freeze.  Can be kept in the fridge for a week.
