This recipe was officially my first pumpkin recipe of the season. My husband insisted that it was too early to make pumpkin recipes, but I told him it’s never too early! I know pumpkin spice muffins sound like the most basic white girl recipe, but I don’t even care! I’m proud of the fact that I love the flavors of coffee and pumpkin. It’s delicious and brings joy to so many people! So, enjoy that pumpkin spice latte or anything pumpkin spice for that matter! It’s that time of year!

Pumpkin Health Benefits

So, besides the fact that anything pumpkin flavored is delicious, pumpkin is really good for you! It’s high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. It’s loaded with antioxidants, which can reduce the risk of cancer. It also can help reduce the risk of chronic disease, promotes skin health, and it’s super low in calories! This Pumpkin article shows all the details!

I’m sure you will love these Healthy Pumpkin Spice Muffins! They are so easy to make and are an awesome healthy snack! They only have about 112 K-Calories each! I think I’ll choose these muffins over a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte for my pumpkin fix….I’m still going to Starbucks for my coffee fix though.

These muffins just take a few essential pantry ingredients and some canned pumpkin! I use whole wheat flour, turbinado sugar, and coconut oil, which may not be as standard, but you can easily substitute! Also, you can make these muffins gluten-free by substituting whole wheat flour with gluten-free baking flour. If you’re allergic to nuts, the almond milk can be switched out for coconut milk to make it the muffins nut-free! These muffins are totally customizable!
