Are Pumpkin Muffins Healthy?
I am obsessed with all things chocolate and pumpkin but it’s been a long time since I have had a healthy muffin that really tasted this fantastic. I promise that this Healthy Pumpkin Muffin will make the perfect addition to any breakfast or snack and it will become one of your favorite muffin options. It is perfect for a simple breakfast served with yogurt and fresh fruit or as a snack throughout week. The fact that these are healthier than your typical store bought muffin makes me a little more obsessed with them but most importantly my kids all loved them.

Can you freeze Healthy Pumpkin Muffins?
These are not a muffin that you can only eat one of so it’s a good thing they are healthy! I was able to make 18 perfect sized muffins. We usually double the recipe because they freeze so well! They will last 2-3 days at room temp, and up to 2 months in the freezer. Not that they ever last that long in my house!
