Omega 3 Muffins

These muffins are vegan, super healthy, and full of omega 3s! They are not sugary, but they make a great snack on the go, or with a nut butter!



Ingredients:
1 cup pureed pumpkin
1/2 cup silken tofu
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
3/4 cup applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
(optional: for a sweet muffin, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup honey or agave)
1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup almond flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbs chia seeds
2 Tbs flaxseeds/flaxseed meal
(optional: 2 Tbs coconut flour)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whiz together the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the two together and mix well, stirring walnuts in last.
2. Grease muffin tins. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Yield: 12 muffins.
