Honey Flax Muffins
Yield 12 muffins
Serving size: 2 muffins
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon & 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon flax seeds
non-stick cooking spray
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Chop parsley and thyme and mix together with bread crumbs and pepper in a bowl.
- Chop onion and sauté in butter or margarine until tender and add to bread crumb mixture.
- Blend in orange juice and milk and mix until crumbs form a clump.
- With a sharp knife, make a slit across the width of each
tenderloin chop being careful not to cut entirely through. (Cut so that the longest part of the tenderloin chop will fold over itself.)
- Press stuffing into the slit on the Tenderloin. Bring the ends of
tenderloin chop together in a fold and bind with cotton string.
- Place in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over top side. Pour enough water
into pan to just cover the bottom of the pan without reaching the level of the stuffing
- Place in oven and set timer for 15 minutes. When timer rings, start preparing muffins.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat egg until fluffy. Add olive oil and honey and blend.
- Dump flour on top of egg mixture and sprinkle baking powder evenly over flour. Using a fork,
blend baking powder into flour and then continue mixing all ingredients together.
- Stir in milk to form a batter. Then add flax seeds and mix again.
- Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using a 1/3 measuring cup, fill muffin tins and place in hot oven.
- When muffins have been baking for 10 minutes, prepare tomatoes.
- Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Cut the top off tomato
and place in baking dish topside up.
- Dice garlic and onion and sauté in oil over medium-high heat.
- Remove from heat. Mince parsley and thyme and stir into garlic and onions along with pepper.
- Spoon onion mixture on top tomato.
- Place in hot oven along with pork and muffins and bake until muffins are brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (approximately 10 minutes after tomatoes go into oven).
- Serve tomatoes with tenderloin chop and muffins.
