Flaxmeal Health Benefits
Flaxmeal (milled flaxseed) is packed with essential nutrients, fibre and minerals!
Flaxmeal is a wonderful source of dietary fibre, which can help aid digestion, it helps to promote regular bowel movements, and helps prevent constipation.
Because Flaxmeal is low in carbohydrates and high in fibre, it can help to support blood sugar balance and help to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Flaxmeal is a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These fatty acids play a crucial role in maintaining heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function.
The omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxmeal can also help lower blood pressure, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Flaxmeal contains lignans, which are powerful antioxidants known for their potential to fight against free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
Flaxmeal also contains compounds called phytoestrogens, which have a similar structure to the hormone oestrogen. These compounds can help to support the natural balance of sex hormones in the body, and has been shown to help alleviate symptoms of menopause.
The combination of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and lignans in flaxmeal can contribute to healthy and glowing skin. These nutrients help reduce skin inflammation, improve hydration, and promote skin elasticity.

Using a fork (or fingers), mix the coconut oil into the coffee blend until it forms a crumble texture.
Spoon the muffin mixture into muffin cases and then sprinkle with the streusel topping.
Pop into the preheated oven for approx 16-18 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
