I love and adore this recipe. I have made it many times for different occasions. Instead of using a bread pan, I put the batter into muffin tins. I still bake at 350, but cut the baking time to 30 minutes. I have taken these muffins to story time at the Library and the muffins are always gobbled up. They are easy for little hands to grab and eat. The only other change I make to the recipe is to use Whole Wheat Flour. The Prarie Gold Wheat four from Wheat Montana is light and fabulous. Thanks for this recipe.

Oh yeah, these are great! I got a dozen muffins after I halved the recipe, and I only used 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp) of flaxseed. I really cannot get over how tasty these are and how perfet the consistency is. A keeper for sure! Thanks so much annabell.
