My recipe for colon friendly muffins

I hope this is ok with the moderators - I wanted to give something back to the group.

Oatmeal and ricemeal get boring after a while, so I make muffins once a week, and eat one for breakfast.
I didn't add any brand names since my local health food store has 2 or 3 different brands for each of
the ingedients.


Flaxseed and rice muffins
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup golden flaxseed meal
1/2 cup corn sugar (also called dextrose/glucose)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of canola oil
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 to 2 cups of water

Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix all ingredients, then add water until
muffin mix is liquidy like runny ketchup. Add to muffin pan. I use foil muffin
cups. Cook for 20 to 24 minutes, until golden brown on top of muffins.

Each muffin will have 300 to 400 calories, and is high in fiber.

Comments on the recipe:
I do not use wheat, eggs, or white sugar (sucrose) or high fructose corn syrup
in this recipe. I buy dextrose (corn sugar) at the health food store. It is simple
sugar, and in my opinion, is very easy to digest. I don't get any gas or bloating
from it. If you're like me, and have real trouble with normal sugar, it may be
worth seeing if you can buy some dextrose. It's 3 dollars for a two pound bag.
This recipe is high in fiber, from flaxseed, so fiber sensitive people should beware.

It's sweet from the dextrose, but not nearly as sweet as something made with white sugar. I think
it tastes good. It's definitely not cake though!

In the unmodified recipe from the Bob's Red Mill package, it used eggs and a 1/4 cup of white sugar.
I had to double the amount of dextrose to make it sweeter. It didn't have any flaxseed meal. Eggs
bind baked goods together, and vegans use flaxseed meal in place of eggs in their baked goods.

I tried making it with honey, but honey gives me gas. If you want to try honey, use a 1/4 cup or less
since honey is much sweeter than dextrose too. Maybe even just 2 tablespoons of honey.

Dextrose is also used when making homemade beer, for the curious. It is also the white fluffy stuff
that is mixed with artificial sugar to make "Splenda".

That sounds good, thanks!! Raisins/cranberries would be a good add-in too. And I'd definitely substitute with honey because it has so many health benefits (and definitely does not make me gasy).
