¾ cup Flax meal
½ Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 cup mashed bananas (extra/over ripe) can be previously frozen but bring to room temperature

Combine dry ingredients in small bowl set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees In separate large mixing bowl, mash bananas with mixer and mix with brown sugar, and oil. Add in egg and egg white one at a time. Add orange peel, vanilla, almond extract and coffee. Mix well. Add dry ingredients to wet all at once, and gently stir by hand until just combined and smooth. Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 12-17 minutes. Muffins may need to remain small, I have not experimented with larger muffins.
