Cinnamon Chia Seeds Muffins

By Kate Miller

Chia seeds boost many amazing health benefits. Ever since I read that two tablespoons of chia seeds a day can help weight loss, I've been trying to incorporate chia seeds into my breakfast menu.

While adding chia seeds to smoothies, yogurts and puddings taste delicious, I lean towards chia seeds recipes that are quick, make-ahead foods which I can prepare over the weekend, and "grab-it-and-run" for busy mornings.

This muffin recipe is really good and so easy that you'll find yourself making homemade chia seeds muffins again and again. The sour cream makes every bite of these chia seeds muffins wonderfully moist and fluffy while the cinnamon adds just a lovely delicate flavor.

Enjoy these delightful muffins plain, hot from the oven or iced with dark chocolate frosting for dessert. They also freeze well for weeks if double-wrapped with plastic film and stored in sealed container.

Chia seeds can be found at most health food stores locally or online.
