Pumpkin Muffins- the healthy version
As much as I love all things pumpkin, let's be honest and admit that they are usually packed with sugar!
Not so with this recipe. If you enjoyed those sugar-free granola bars, you'll enjoy these muffins. Very spicy (in that pumpkin-baked goods way), but not super sweet.
The original recipe here. You'll want to check it out. If you've never been to 100 days of real food, go right now. I absolutely love Lisa's blog. The recipes are amazing if you are looking for ways to eat healthier. However, allow yourself time to adjust to them because they aren't filled with sugar or other processed junk. If you aren't used to such healthy food, your tastebuds need some time to transition.
Pumpkin Muffins
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil (I have always used coconut oil in this recipe but I am sure you could substitute if you need to)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup pumpkin
Whisk together dry ingredients. Make a hole in the center and add the rest of the ingredients. Do not over mix. Grease or line your muffin tin -this recipe makes 12 muffins- and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Enjoy!!
