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 they 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!

Super tasty recipe. Made today and super moist.
So happy to hear you enjoyed them Rachel!
The 1 cup of grated carrots was left off in the instructions. I almost forgot to add in along with the wet ingredients because there is no mention of it other than in the ingredients.
Thanks for catching that! I’ve updated the recipe card. 🙂
Mmm these all look delicious! Now if it would just get a little cooler out so I can try some of these 😉
