This Blueberry Hemp Flaxseed Muffins recipe was originally published August 2014. WHOA! I've re-tested and reshot the recipe for you. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Are you a sweet muffin kind of person or a nutty muffin kind of person or both? Personally, I love a little bit of both. A little sweet and a little nutty makes the perfect muffin in my opinion!

A few years ago my sugar cravings were out of control before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I was obsessed with making (and eating) muffins to satisfy my cravings. It was kind of a thing for me to post a muffin recipe every Monday.

Gone are the days of muffin Mondays and gone are the days of crazy sugar cravings. Seriously, it was so bad I would eat an entire batch of muffins myself. At least I was eating healthy, lower calories muffins and not a box of snickers. Hey... you gotta give yourself credit where you can!

So many women struggle with cravings and overeating treats (even healthy ones) like muffins. That's exactly why I created Weight Loss for Women Over 35. To teach women how to eat so they can stop getting cravings and can enjoy one muffin without eating the entire batch.

Imagine how freeing it would be to eat one muffin and not feel the need to go back for more? That CAN be you!

Today we're whipping up a delicious muffins that not only is better for you, but also lower in sugar, higher in fiber and protein and delicious too!

Blueberry Hemp Flaxseed Muffins

These Blueberry Hemp Flaxseed Muffins are made with real food ingredients and are better balanced in protein, fat and carbs compared to muffins at your local bakery. Bananas, blueberries, cinnamon and coconut sugar add the perfect touch of sweetness.

Almond, flour, sorghum, gluten free rolled oats and flax magically combine to make the best nutty, blueb muffin you've every had.

If you haven't baked with sorghum before, you need to! It's one of my favorite gluten free flours. It has a slightly sweet flavor and is high in healthy fat, fiber, protein, calcium and iron. Add it to your shopping list. It's a must have for gluten free baking!

Helpful Tips

Couple tips to prevent your muffins from getting too thick and dense. First, do not over combine the batter. When you combine the flours with the liquid ingredients, gently fold them together. Over mixing will result in a stiff batter and thicker muffin.

Second, measuring the right way is the key to success! Gluten free flours are less forgiving when you over measure than traditional white or wheat flours.

Last, check your muffins around 20 minutes to see if they're done. I recommend inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they're ready to come out. Ovens are different and you definitely don't want to over bake these goodies.

Okay... off to the kitchen you go to bake!

    Hi. So I’m wondering if you can help me, I didn’t have sorghum flour so I substituted for almond flour instead. Used all the other ingredients but the batter wasn’t runny like yours. Really thick and clumpy?Is it supposed to be like that?

      My batter was thick. Not runny. I have not tried sorghum flour with this recipe so I'm not sure what that would do in terms of consistency. I will say that ensuring you are measuring properly by spooning flour into a measuring cup is really important. Sometimes people will dunk a measuring cup into the flour and that will yield almost twice the amount of flour making the batter super thick.

    Very delicious. Instead of using Sorghum, I used Almond Flour. It turned out perfect.

    These were so good. Better than I imagined. I have never cooked with hemp seeds so I was scared. I wanted to add more healthy fatty acids to my diet. I will make these again. The blueberries and bananas make it the perfect sweetness. I used oat flour. (Blended up instant oats), used agave ( what I had on hand)

    Can you use the whole egg

      You can use one whole egg to replace the two egg whites. It will increase the calories and reduce the protein content though and the texture may be changed.
