These delicious Pumpkin Omega Muffins are dense, nutritious, and bring all the fall vibes. They contain many ingredients (flaxseeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds). To learn more about omega 3s – what are they, why you need to eat them everyday, and how to get enough – you can find all the omega-3 details here. Enjoy them for breakfast, snack time, or dessert. I like mine smeared with apple butter or peanut butter for a little extra oomph.
