Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
