In the blog, I wanted to share a recipe for some pumpkin muffins I recently made. It is funny how we all start to crave certain things as the seasons change. The other day, I just couldn’t get the thought of pumpkin out of my head, so I decided it was time to bake something. This recipe is easy to make and includes some healthful ingredients including pumpkin, coconut oil, dark chocolate and a variety of spices. I have to say, it definitely took care of the craving. Give it a try if you are having thoughts of pumpkin or just want a nice treat.
