- This is totally optional, I have added Flax seeds powder to the batter for an extra protein and folate.

- Now, the batter is all ready and keep it aside for 5 minutes and meanwhile preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F
- Spray the non stick cooking oil and grease the muffins pan & start filling the batter into the pan or cupcake molds.

- Make sure the batter doesn't come till the top of the mold as the muffin rises while baking, so leave enough room. I used a one dozen medium sized muffins pan & the batter is sufficient enough to fill the entire pan.
- Bake the muffins at 350 degree F for 18 minutes. ( Personally I prefer them browner I baked them for 20 minutes).
