My son is allergic to nuts so I add protein content with hemp seed and chia seeds. I love using multigrain flour as it adds great taste and a nice crunch to the muffins. If you can’t find multigrain flour, whole wheat flour will work. Fuel to Go Muffins are an amazing breakfast muffin or after school snack. We call them in our house “Athlete Fuel”. This nutrient dense muffin tastes amazing and fills you up. One of my All Time Favourite Recipes!

March 2, 2019 at 1:00 pmThese are delicious! The batter is very thick, not super wet but the muffins are nice and moist. Really great flavour and very filling. They make a perfect on the go breakfast.

March 14, 2019 at 11:47 amDo you have the nutritional breakdown for these?
Laureen King says
March 17, 2019 at 8:05 amUpdated to include nutritional count. I usually make 12 muffins so the calorie count would be higher.

May 13, 2019 at 11:21 amWhere or who is multi grain flour made by? Can’ t find it!
Laureen King says
May 13, 2019 at 2:23 pmHi Janice, I buy Robin Hood Multigrain flour which is in most grocery stores in Canada. It seems to be a bit harder to find in the US. Any whole grain, whole wheat or even all purpose flour will work as well.

May 13, 2019 at 2:27 pmThanks for your prompt answer. I am also curious about the effects of all the seeds, mainly chia, hemp and pumpkin seeds on people who are diabetic and also take blood thinners.
Janice House says
May 16, 2019 at 3:28 pmAnybody have any thoughts on this?
Laureen King says
May 16, 2019 at 7:20 pmHi Janice, I really have no idea, hopefully someone else can answer.
