For the second day of making Anti Inflammatory Diet, I opted to make a muffin with Banana, Walnut, and Chia Seeds. I remember somebody had gifted us with Chia seeds, I realized it was Priya Srinivasan. And then in another meet, Priya Suresh gave us Black Poppy Seeds. I saw one packet of tiny black seeds and assumed it to be chia seeds and even confirmed with my friends. I tried looking at the net for pictures. Both looked the same from far.
Anyway, I baked this delicious muffin and was happy with the results. The only thing left to confirm is to soak the seeds and see if it blots up or not. I would suggest you try these for a breakfast and feel happy indulging in a mildly sweet good filling muffin.
I was only able to click the step by step, and yes that cute heart and final clicks are Konda's handiwork!
