Lemon Chia Seed Mini Muffins
Lemon chia seed muffins are sweet and moist with a little bit of crunchy texture from the chia seeds. If you love the crisp, refreshing taste of lemons, you’ll love this recipe!
I especially love that they’re a great way to get your kids to eat chia seeds! Chia seeds contain omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, zinc and many other nutrients. I’m sure your little ones will love these bite-sized lemon chia seed muffins!
