Lemon Chia Seed Muffins

Lemon Chia Muffins

Today is Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day!  In case you didn’t know, you can go here, to join in the fun!

I was super excited when I received my assignment this month.  I have been secretly stalking Nutmeg Nanny for months.  She has a great site, with all sorts of amazing recipes.  The girl can mix a cocktail like no other as well.  Brandy lives in New York where she really is a nanny, and she recently got engaged.  If you haven’t met Brandy before, go check out her site, lots of yummy stuff!

I had a seriously hard time figuring out what to make.  I actually made her Honey Spiced Glazed Chicken, and it was amazing.  My pictures didn’t do much for me, so I took that opportunity to try something else!  I also have this Marinade recipe, Asian Coleslaw, and Cheesecake Dip recipes printed to try soon!  But in the end I chose a muffin, big surprise!

I had recently purchased Chia Seeds, because I have heard such great things about them.  I have been wondering what do to with them, and then I saw these muffins!  The perfect thing to test them out.  You can’t really even taste them.  So if you don’t have them, just leave them out.  Or you could use poppy seeds instead.  The glaze on top is light and has great lemon flavor to go with the muffins.  You could omit the glaze if you are trying to be a little healthier, but it is just so good!

My 7 year old was a little hesitant at first because of the chia seeds all throughout, but he liked them.  He isn’t big on lemon anything, so they weren’t his favorite.  Which just means more for me!  They are just so moist and light, it is hard to stay away from them!

Banana Yogurt Bran Muffins

Banana Yogurt Bran Muffins

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day.  My husband didn’t have to work yesterday, so we enjoyed a great 3 day weekend as a family.  On Saturday we drove up into the mountains and did some hiking.  We hiked to the top of a mountain (Twin Sisters), which was about 2000 feet of elevation gain and 7.5 miles round trip.  My 7 year old did amazing!  He didn’t complain once!  Amazing what bribing them with ice cream will do :)   Sunday we got to have a barbeque with some friends, and Monday we relaxed.  I couldn’t have asked for much more.

I made these muffins during teacher appreciation week, and sent them to school.  I kept a couple here for us, and they disappeared very quickly.  I wasn’t sure how the bran cereal would do in a muffin, but it just disappeared and left great flavor.  I used Raisin Bran, because that is all I had, which just added a few more raisins to the mix.  I did mix in a few chocolate chips as well.  Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself!

I might have to mix up another batch of these this week for our pending road trip.  As soon as school is out we are getting in the car and headed to see family in Wisconsin.  Snacks will definitely be needed on the drive.
