Welp, it’s officially pumpkin season! Today is the first day it’s actually cool outside and my husband is watching football… which reminds me, it’s also hot wing season, yum.
But back to these paleo pumpkin muffins… they are tender and moist with all the flavors of fall and can be eaten plain for breakfast, topped with my oh so good cream cheese frosting for an extra treat, or with chocolate chips stirred into the batter! I love versatile recipe.
I hope you get the chance to make them because they’re delicious and we can’t get enough of them in my family!
