Today we were feeling healthy around here, so I decided to try another recipe from my Trim Healthy Mama book, Easy Peasy Cinnamon Muffins.
It’s rainy and gloomy here in Iowa today, and the warm cinnamon smell that enveloped the house while these were baking was just perfect.
These remind me of a bran muffin, but they are sweeter. They made a delicious dessert with a pat of butter. And because they were a Trim Healthy Mama recipe, they were sugar free and very low in carbs; eating a healthy dessert makes it even more enjoyable.

Because you used flax seed, this is a gluten free muffin! So excited about that. Finding delicious gf baking recipes can be a challenge. Thanks for sharing.
I make this recipe almost weekly and tried different variations. So far my favorite is pumpkin. I do have one question. You have deleted the water in the original recipe. Was this an oversight or do you have success without the water?
Thanks!
Hi Susie! Thank you for your reply. Oops! I accidentally left water out of my recipe. I have fixed it. Thanks a lot for letting me know! How much pumpkin do you add? The 1/3 C that is recommended in the book? I plan to try it soon. So perfect for fall. Thanks again for reading and for your comment.
