Figure Friendly Pumpkin Muffins

Fall is officially here, which means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! I make killer pumpkin “love muffins” as my husband calls them. I bake them once (sometimes twice) a year on our dating anniversary. They’re amazing, but not something I would eat every day. I may share that recipe later this season, but for now let’s bake something a little healthier. This recipe is absolutely delicious, but wont make you feel guilty. Its packed with fiber and dairy free! Perfect for a quick breakfast with coffee, or a light dessert.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup pumpkin
• 1/4 cup apple butter (I use my Granny’s homemade apple butter)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tbsp flax seed
• extra coconut oil to grease the muffin tin
• extra salt to lightly sprinkle muffins after placed in tin

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.

2. Grease muffin tin with coconut oil

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes

VOILA!

I suggest eating these with a delicious cup of coffee on the front porch on a crisp fall morning. Really helps to maximize the pumpkin-fall-obsession experience.
