Scrumptious Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

Healthy Pumpkin Muffins – these muffins are so delicious, your family will never guess that they are actually packed with nutrition!

It’s that time of year again. Time for all things pumpkin! Some people might get sick of it, but I love pumpkin season. I love starting the day off with a yummy pumpkin muffin. Not only are they tasty, they make the house smell great for the rest of the day!

I found the recipe for these muffins scrawled on a piece of notebook paper in my miscellaneous recipe box. I can’t remember where I got it, but I’m glad I discovered it, because these muffins are so yummy!

They have whole wheat flour, yogurt, honey, nuts, and even some grated carrots tossed in. But despite all those healthy ingredients, my entire family gobbled them right up. I used semi sweet chocolate chips, but you could substitute raisins or Craisins if you prefer.

 

I hope you like these muffins as much as we do. Enjoy!
