Gluten-free Sugar-free Pumpkin Muffins

November 2, 2017

Have you ever made a whole dish from a blender (smoothies don’t count!)  I’ve certainly never made a dessert via a blender until now! Now it’s one of my favorite ways to prep for baking!  I already made healthy banana muffins (recipe coming soon!) but wanted to add a seasonal twist to a healthy staple. There have been pumpkins everywhere and I wanted to make gluten-free – pumpkin muffins (portability is key!)  I took this recipe as inspiration and made a few adjustments.

The result – a moist, sweet but not overly sweet, and hearty dessert that is perfect throughout the holidays.  This is almost 100% sugar free depending on the chips you add (or add none!) This is a great way to use all that leftover pumpkin!  I love buying small Japanese pumpkin pieces so we have this anytime!  Enjoy and what chips would you put in these muffins?

    That’s really cool that the prep for these can be done in a blender. It’s still too much effort for me to bake though. I’m just way lazy when it comes to that ;p
