A plate with two flaxseed and prune muffins.

These delicious, wholesome muffins are packed with fibre, thanks to the powerhouse combo of flaxseeds and prunes. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, they’re not just tasty—they’re good for you too! Flaxseeds are loaded with omega-3s and fibre, while prunes add a natural sweetness and a boost of digestive support. This fibre-filled flaxseed and prune muffin recipe makes muffins that are soft, moist, and just the right amount of sweet, making them an easy way to get some extra fiber into your day. Plus, they’re a great on-the-go option for those busy mornings when you need a little something nutritious and satisfying.

Fibre-Filled Flaxseed and Prune Muffin Recipe

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons organic ground flaxseed meal (if you don’t have ground flaxseed, just whole seeds in blender or food processor)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (Available in the German section in grocery stores)

2 large eggs

1 cup cold milk

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 cup dried, pitted, prunes – diced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Dice up prunes (this is a very, very sticky but worthwhile process).

In a large bowl, mix flour, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla sugar.

In another medium bowl, whisk cold milk and melted butter. Add eggs and whisk until mixed (the first time I made this, I mixed all three at the same time and the butter curdled. Whoops. Definitely do not recommend).

Add wet ingredients to dry and add prunes. Mix until incorporated, do not over-mix.

Spoon batter into paper or butter lined 12 cup muffin tin.

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven. Insert a fork into a muffin to check for doneness.

Enjoy!
