(Probably be good with bits of crystallized ginger too, what the hey). I used ground flax and water as my egg because I had no real eggs on hand and plenty of flax. Probably works even better with real eggs, but these came out surprisingly well with the flax substitute.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup boiling water
1/8 cup flax seed meal (to be mixed with the flour)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon flax seed meal (for the flax egg )
3 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 teaspoons ginger
1/3 cup flax seed (toasted if you like)
Directions:
1. Add 3/4 cup boiling water to oats. Let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Form flax egg by mixing 3 tablespoons boiling water with 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients together (flour, 1/8 cup ground flax, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, flax seeds).
4. Beat molasses, oil and vanilla into flax egg . Mix into oat mixture.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
6. Pour into 6 muffin cups.
7. Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 350°F.
