Flax Brownie Muffins

This recipe is the best allergy friendly brownie recipe I have tried. I love using flax seeds for added fiber and omega 3s. This recipe is great as it is but it is also a work in progress. It is rich and dense, almost cake like. For a fudge like texture, make sure not to cook too long. Next time I will make these in a mini muffin tin as they are incredibly dense and rich. Flax Brownie Muffin recipe INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 c. gluten free flour 1 1/2 c. organic coconut sugar 1 c. cocoa powder 1 1/2 t. baking powder 1 t. xanthan gum 1/2 t. sea salt 2/3 c. coconut oil, melted 4 flax eggs (4T. ground flax mixed with 10T. warm water) 2 t. vanilla extract DIRECTIONS Grease muffin tin and preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the flax eggs and warm water. Allow this to sit for a few minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Whisk until the cocoa is incorporated completely. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir until everything is mixed
