If I had to describe fall as a flavor I would call it PUMPKIN!! And I’m not alone on this one, I mean bath & body works even bottled it into fall flavored soaps……. So if you’d ask me what is my all-time favorite fall bake good it would obviously be pumpkin muffin.

This fall I try baking everything healthier, cause Leo is my partner to every bite, and I really try to make sure he eats as healthy as possible. What makes these muffins healthy is the whole-spelt flour and the pumpkin puree that adds fiber to the classic muffin. they’re perfect for breakfast or as a snack, and the kids love them, actually Leo is 9 months old and he’s crazy about them.

And the best part, baking healthy pumpkin muffins will make your house smell just like fall! The muffins are dense and rich with a puffy top, and they’re super healthy and tasty. If you want to make these muffins dairy free you can switch the butter in the recipe with 1/4 cup coconut oil.
