Cracked Wheat Cereal and Flax Seed Muffins

This morning I made Cracked Wheat cereal using Brown Flax seeds and Cinnamon and also some Whole Wheat muffins with Brown Flax.

Here are the recipes:
Cracked Wheat Cereal (For detailed pictures click on the title)
2 C Whole Red Wheat freshly cracked using a hand crank mill
1 quart water
1 tsp sea salt
2 TBS Brown Flax Seeds
3 Whole Cloves
1 Inch piece of peeled ginger
Muffins: (For detailed steps on muffin making click on the link)
2 Cups of Fresh Ground Whole Red Wheat
1/4 Cup of Brown Flax Fresh ground in a seed mill
2 eggs
1 16 ounce can of pear sauce
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
I mixed all ingredients together and then put them in the muffin papers and let them sit in the pan for about a half hour. This sitting time is really important when cooking whole grains. It allows the wheat to suck up more of the moisture and makes for a really moist muffin.
Bake at 350 for twenty minutes

The muffins tasted great with strawberry jam. Ben likes to eat muffins even more if they have a fun paper shell. I bought these spider man muffin papers at Hobby Lobby.
