There is something far too special about sinking your teeth into a warm fluffy pumpkin muffins recipe. They usually start to fill pastry shops and bakeries in early September when the air is starting to cool down and the subtly breezes that pass by start to pick up speed. You can smell pumpkin pie spices everywhere… fall weather is here! These protein packed grain free pumpkin muffins are truly something to talk about.
We recently had a new grocery store open up in town called Sprouts. I had yet to experience until today, this earth shaking awesome new store filled with whole natural foods, bulk foods and supplies found at traditional grocery stories… all in one building!
As I calmly strolled through the aisles with a screaming toddler strapped to my body I fell upon a glorious pop-up stand filled with everything pumpkin you can imagine! Pumpkin cheesecake creme filled cookies, canned pumpkin, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin breakfast bars, pumpkin oatmeal with cinnamon pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin pie!
My mouth started to tremble thinking about these. In guilt, because last week I made this delicious pumpkin muffin recipe with tapioca flour, almond meal and protein powder and have not yet shared it with you!
Fall happens to be my most favorite time of the year. My boys were born late summer (almost fall), my husband and I both have birthdays in the fall and my favorite thing is that everything feels calm around. Calm before the wild Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays hit! Do you feel it? Late September and October are like the start of a large storm brewing and we are in the midst of the calm of the storm before the big boom hits. Cooling fresh breezes pass by each day and warm aromas of spices fill the air!
Boy do I love fall and all the pumpkin comfort food that goes with it!

This delicious pumpkin muffins recipe is sweetened with antioxidant rich maple syrup. A powerhouse grain free muffin packed with fiber, antioxidants and vitamins A, B and C to name a few!
To make your pumpkin muffins, add the canned pumpkin to a large bowl and whisk with eggs, and vanilla until fluffy and well combined. When making baked goods with coconut oil instead of butter it is important to add the melted coconut oil last so that it does not harden against any chilled ingredients. Next blend together the spices, maple syrup and all the dry ingredients with the wet ones. Fold over to blend until there are no lumps. Right before baking sprinkle your pumpkin muffins with a few chocolate chips.
These healthy pumpkin muffins are mind-blowing! So moist and delicious and perfect a perfectly satisfying change for the fall season.
