Blueberry Chia Muffins with Flaxseed (wheat-free, gluten-free)

I thought it would be fun to experiment a little with a blueberry muffin. I cheated by starting with King Arthur's Gluten-Free Muffin Mix and added a bunch of healthy ingredients. They turned out AMAZING!

Ingredients:
1 box King Arthur's Gluten-Free Muffin Mix
6 tbsp organic unsalted butter (melted) OR 6 tbsp organic virgin coconut oil
3 tbsp milled, ground flaxseed
2 tbsp Shaklee Instant Protein Soy
1 cup light vanilla soymilk (instead of cow's milk)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp chia seeds
1.5 cups blueberries

Follow the instructions on the box.
Add the flaxseed and Instant Protein Soy with the powdered muffin mix.
Add the vanilla extract after the soymilk.
Use a spoon and gently fold in the blueberries and chia seeds.

Organic Oat Flour Biscuits (wheat-free, gluten-free)

Since I just recently learned that I shouldn't consume wheat and certain dairy products, I set out to create healthy biscuits the whole family can enjoy. These were particularly delicious especially if you add homemade strawberry jam.

Recipe:
1 1/4 cup organic oat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp Shaklee Instant Protein Soy
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk
2 tbsp butter (from grass-fed cows)
1 egg (from free-range chickens)

Mix all dry ingredients together. Cut in the butter and add the rest of ingredients. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 min. Enjoy!
