These are chock-full of all kinds of good stuff - 11 of the ingredients are on the WHFoods list! There's omega 3's from the flax and sunflower seeds, fibre from the whole wheat and oats, potassium and lots of vitamins from the fruit and even antioxidants from the blueberries and chocolate chips I tossed in! Read more Maca root powder is an optional ingredient that's also touted as a "superfood" for the hormonal system, helping regulate metabolism, energy levels, growth, sexual development and general sense of well being. If you opt for muffins, they bake best at 375F for about 25 minutes. For bread, use the directions as written. See less
