Paleo Chocolate Pecan Pumpkin Muffins

9 Sep

When the hint of fall starts, all things pumpkin flood my mind! And if you’re anything like this pumpkin-loving-momma you’ll love these paleo chocolate pecan pumpkin muffins. Naturally sweetened, gluten free and dairy free. They’re pumptastic!

Pin It!

Confession: I started adding pumpkin spice creamer to my coffee.  

…Even though it’s still 93 degrees here.

I can’t help that I’m eager! It’s ALMOST FALL which means everyone must do their due diligence as law-abiding citizens and make all things pumpkin. It’s kind of like a moral code September through November. 

That’s why when I had the idea to make a grain free muffin packed with pumpkin and made with clean ingredients – I went for it and created these healthy chocolate pecan pumpkin muffins.

To my complete shock and awe, I nailed this recipe on my first attempt (that rarely happens when I made any paleo baked goods)!!

And I didn’t skimp on pumpkin spice goodness here – all those fall-inspired flavors are packed in every bite.

But don’t worry, I’m not all spice without some sweet.

Truth is, as texture snob I love me a little sweet with a little crunchy too. Introduce a few pecans and you’ve got yourself a muffin hit. For both adults AND kids. 

Gluten Free, Dairy Free

This no-fuss recipe is perfect for your weekend baking escapades in all attempts to fill your home full of pumpkin smells and excitement for the falling leaves.

Enough reading – just make ’em! You’ll thank me later after that first warm bite that floods you with memories of football Sunday, raking leaves, pumpkin patches, and family gatherings. 

And if you love all things pumpkin as much as I do, then be sure to also try these Mini Paleo Pumpkin Pies, my beloved Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Granola, of these 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Breakfast Sausages.

Enjoy!

    I made these over the weekend and they are very delicious! I love that the only sweetener is maple syrup and they still taste absolutely yummy. Great to have on hand for a guilt-free snack or part of breakfast.
