Pumpkin Chia Muffins

Rich in antioxidants and low in calories, pumpkins are packed with vitamins that serve as a great immune-system boost.

Ingredients

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 cup whole-wheat or whole-grain flour

1/2 cup white flour

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 can (16-oz) organic pumpkin

2 eggs

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup agave nectar

1 tbsp vanilla

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

 

Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients. Fold the wet ingredients (fold in nuts if you are using them) into the dry ingredients and spoon into paper-lined muffin or greased muffin tins.

 

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
