After a long run I usually crave for something sweet, all that running justifies the calorie intake .. or so I thought all these years!
This new challenge of running and loosing weight has made me rethink and rework most of my food habits.  I tried this recipe of flax seed muffins sweetened by raisins and honey,with a bit of alteration to suit my taste. It was my first attempt to use flax seed in a recipe.. especially a dessert, the result totally surprised me, these muffins were just enough sweet fluffy and filling. A perfect low carb and healthy after workout snack or even a dessert served with strawberry or blueberry sauce!
A little bit about flax seed
Flax seed (Alsee/ Alsi) is grown both for its seeds and fiber in the Himalayan terrain in India.They have a warm, earthy and subtly nutty flavor combined with an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids.Various parts of the plant have been used to make fabric, dye, paper, medicines, fishing nets, hair gels, and soap. Flax seed is the source of linseed oil, which is used as an edible oil, as a nutritional supplement, and as an ingredient in many wood finishing products.
