Paleo Pumpkin Muffins

Paleo Pumpkin Muffins

Yes, I know it is Spring and yes, I know it is definitely not Pumpkin Season – but, this is a Quarantine, people, so anything goes. I found this can of pumpkin in my pantry during a Spring Cleaning and knew I had to find a quick & easy way to use it. Enter my easy paleo pumpkin muffins!

Perfect texture!

These are great for anytime of the year as a quick grab&go food option. I adapted my regular Fall pumpkin recipe by swapping out the warm spices and only using cinnamon! This is also a great recipe for anyone cleaning out their cabinets during this quarantine (or at least pretending too)! But honestly, this recipe is fool-proof and I love that I can customize them depending on what I have on hand. I often switch out the chocolate chips for raisins (no I am not crazy) , walnuts, or craisins. I hope yinz enjoy them as much as we do 🙂

  • Mix together all of your dry ingredients and make sure you get rid of any lumps.
