Apple Flax Muffins

By the title I know you have a raised eyebrow.  They're actually pretty good, especially if you are trying to eat healthy. They make a decent snack or breakfast.  A little back story, last year I did the 10 Day Detox Diet with my friends Pete and Katie.  This works great and if you want more details let me know. On that diet no carbs or sugary foods allowed. This was tough cold turkey. These muffins were considered a treat for me. I actually made them twice through the course of my 10 days because I shared them with some folks. They're baaack!  No I'm not doing the Detox again, just trying to eat healthy.  If you're a Weight Watchers person this might equal 2 points.
