- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup sifted coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 15oz can plain pumpkin
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp maple extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

I must confess, I had two of these for lunch yesterday! No, I didn’t feel guilty at all not one tiny bit! But I was almost fooled by the sweetness of all the yummy pumpkin and chocolate flavor as I paused with concern before I stuffed my mouth with another bite!
I know it is nothing new, dressing up some pumpkin with chocolate, but all of the other ingredients are what make this a guilt-free recipe! You could even eat these for breakfast and the occasional lunch {just don’t tell on me}!
I have had so many of you over the years ask if I had a pumpkin muffin recipe and so I finally got to work and after a few batches gone rogue I got it right…..moist, spicy and sweet but best of all, this one is still packed with nutrient dense ingredients!
I had a few muffins in my purse today for someone at my daughter’s home school group but I didn’t see her. I got to talking to the Administrative Director there and her daughter walked up after about 15 minutes of us chatting and explained to her mom that she was starving and had nothing to eat.
Well, if this isn’t divine intervention I don’t know what is; because I ALWAYS have food in my purse…seriously! You may never leave home without clean underwear on but I will never leave home empty handed of snacks {and clean panties wink}.
Anyway, I offered my muffins up but she declined because she said she was gluten free. What are the odds of that happening because you know {by now} these delectable muffins are most certainly just that! I love how this was no coincidence and the man upstairs provided such divinity {wink}!
I am beyond blessed to share my love language of feeding you healthy recipes like these. So thank you for being a part of my life…near and far wherever you are.
I walked inside to get my other lens for the camera and when I came back this one had her teeth in the muffin liner trying with all her might to pull it down. I scolded her but those eyes get me every time. So we went inside for a doggie treat without chocolate.
