Hi there…i loved your website but i have a question about this bar recipe. I thought from former research that flax seeds don't stand very well heat. and in this recipe, i see you throw the whole ingredients in the oven. can you please clarify this for me? thank you in advance.
ReplyDeleteYes, I add all the ingredients, including the flaxseeds in. Flaxseeds do not stand up well to toasting, but as far as an ingredient in recipes they are great!! You can used them in hot oatmeal, as an egg replacement mixed with water... So many good options for flaxseeds!!
