*UPDATED RECIPE!*
I just couldn’t resist a little early reunion with my beloved pumpkin this year. I’ve already eaten a week straight of pumpkin overnight oats. What is it about pumpkin flavored everything?
Although this recipe has been on the blog for sometime I’ve updated the measurement a bit for an even BETTER version as well as made some topping additions…cause toppings always, duh!
Still hanging on to all of the Fall flavors before it’s full on holiday/winter mode? Me too. These pumpkin muffins are the perfect combo for your tastebuds! This little powerhouse snack is packed with all the good for you stuff like banana, pumpkin, grain-free flour, a hint of sweet maple, and lots of cinnamon. You’ll be keeping the Fall flavors alive with this simple treat that is also great to include into your meal prep menu!
