A few healthy muffin tweaks ->
- sub coconut flour for regular flour – not only does this make them gluten-free, but paleo & grain-free as well
- they are naturally sweetened with real maple syrup (my favorite sweetener for pretty much everything)
- they are packed with real pumpkin puree (not just pie spice) – you get all the fiber and antioxidants
- sub coconut oil for butter – It just changes it up a bit and I love the flavor that coconut oil gives to sweet muffins
And then of course I added dairy-free chocolate chips because we all need a little self-care right now, am I right?!
I knew you would agree.
These pumpkiny muffins are the perfect breakfast alongside an egg scramble, or even a sweet afternoon treat!
