Fall is here! When I think of fall I think pumpkin, apples, sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash.

Here is a recipe I found and adapted to my style of eating.

I love a good muffin, but most are filled with sugar, gluten, transfats, and can be downright unhealthy.

This recipe is good for those who eat a paleo type diet. These muffins are gluten free, sugar free and include healthy fats as part of their healthy lifestyle.

Here is what you will need:

a mini muffin tin
1 1/4 cup Paleo flour blend or any gluten free flour. The specific brand I used is shown in the picture below
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3 TBLS organic non-gmo Nutiva palm shortening (or you can use grass fed butter)
1/2 cup Surkin Gold sugar alternative
1 large egg
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup water

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350
Place all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir to combine and set aside
In a large bowl, cream the palm shortening and sugar together with a wooden spoon. Stir in the egg, pumpkin and vanilla. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add the dry ingredients and the water. Stir by hand until completely combined but don't over stir
Place heaping tablespoons of the batter into greased mini muffin cups. This recipe will make 24 mini muffins
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool

Topping:

I like the muffins without the topping, but my kids LOVED the topping so here it is:

3 Tablespoons surkin gold sugar alternative
1 tsp cinnamon
1.5 Tablespoons melted butter

Once the muffins cooled, melt the butter. Dip the top of the muffin in the butter and then the cinnamon sugar mixture. Enjoy.
