Method
 

  1. Generously grease a 12 cup muffin tin. and preheat oven to 350°
  2. In a measuring cup(or small bowl), whisk together the milk, flax seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon zest and salt. Set aside until thickened, about 10-15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  3. Meanwhile, cut your bread into small cubes about ½-3/4 inch. Place bread cubes in a large bowl.
  4. Once the milk/flax mixture is thickened, pour it oven the bread cubes and toss with a spoon until all cubes are well coated.
  5. Add a layer of soaked bread cubes to each muffin cavity, then add a few blueberries on top. Repeat with the rest of the bread cubes piling them high! Finish with a few more blueberries around the tops of each muffin.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Let muffins cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve as-is or top with additional maple syrup.
