1 tbsp. chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp salt
*Chopped walnuts/pecans- optional or up to your liking

*These muffins don’t rise a lot, so double the ingredients if you want to make more than 6-8 muffins, I got 8 muffins*

Instructions
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-Mix all ingredients together in large mixing bowl
-Fill muffin tins to the top (greased w/ coconut oil or lined with muffin liners)
-Bake for 25-30 minutes or until baked all the way through
-Cool before serving if you can wait! ? They are great frozen too! ENJOY!!!
