1 Heat oven to 400°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or grease (or use cooking spray) bottoms of muffin cups. (For best results, use paper cups.)
2 In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, flaxseed, cranberries, walnuts, water, oil and eggs just until blended (batter will be lumpy). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full).
3 Bake 17 to 21 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back when touched. Cool 5 minutes; carefully remove from pan (if not using paper cups, run knife around edges of cups before removing). Cool completely before storing.

Expert Tips

The best way to receive the most benefits from flax is to grind the seed with a coffee grinder. Once the flax has been ground, it should be kept in the refrigerator or frozen.

I had to adjust this recipe a bit. My local grocery store didnt have any flax. I did use apple sauce instead of oil.Im not a breakfast person so im hoping to make these on a regular basis to have for breakfast.

I can tell that that this recipe is going to be good. It is exactly what I was looking for. I will take motorgirl's suggestion and make it with applesauce. Also I will add some cinnamon.
