Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • cup warm water
  • cups whole wheat flour

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest

Instructions

  • Place chia seeds in warm water for 10 minutes to allow seeds to gel.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin tins.
  • Start by combining flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
