ground flaxseed - what can I add it to?

[Anonymous]

I bought a bag of ground flaxseed for a "healthy" muffin recipe, and now need to use up the remaining 80% of the bag ?Any suggestions for me? Also, will adding flaxseed change the taste? ( I never noticed it in the muffins,) Last, are there any potential side effects from eating too much flaxseed - like gastro issues or whatever. Thanks.

I add it to my smoothies, oatmeal, granola and yogurt. I've haven't noticed a change in flavor, nor have I experienced any gastro issues.

You can add it to just about anything--mix into yogurt with fruit & honey, sprinkle in oatmeal or on cereal, you could mix it with breadcrumbs to coat chicken or fish. Put some into a smoothie.

This sums it up pretty well:

I sprinkle it on raw cabbage or kale - delish!

It's good in anything carby like oatmeal, bread, muffins, pancakes, cookies. Also nice sprinkled on greens (chard, kale, spinach, etc), broccoli.

I think it gives a slightly nutty flavor.

I put it in everything. Taco meat, chili, muffins, pancakes, etc.
