These muffins are full of fiber because I’ve only used whole grains, including fiber-rich & healthy fats-rich coconut and almond flours, as well as flax seed! These are good to make ahead and freeze if needed. They come in handy as an energy-filled after school snack. This recipe makes 12, but you can easily double if you would like to!
When looking for a quick & easy breakfast or snack, consider the powerful chia seed!

Rotis are a staple of the Indian diet but do pack a lot of carbohydrates into a meal. I wanted to come up with a way to add more fiber, protein and good Omega-3 fats to a roti.

Just make sure to cook well on both sides. Enjoy!
