Chia Seed and Goji berry Muffins

I recently found out about two interesting, quirky foods that are not only healthy for you but could help you live better! One of these is a unusual seed called the Chia seed, and is traditionally used in mexican cooking. It contains high sources of protein, and Omega-3. The other secret ingrediant is a little berry called the Goji berry and is traditionally from China, otherwise called the Wolf berry and is packed full of healthy vitamins.

I have been looking for recipes including Chia seeds and Goji berries, and was also thinking about muffins on that particular day, so I thought why don't I make Chia seed and Goji berry muffins?! In the end, the muffins turned out fantastic so i wanted to share the simple, yet delicious recipe with you which makes about 24 muffins, depending how big you make them, considering they will rise in the oven. ( I also converted the grams in tablespoons so you can choose to work with either)
