I love pumpkin. I love it so much so that I could honestly eat pumpkin baked goods all year long! My two favorites are pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins … no contest.
These almond flour pumpkin muffins are are incredibly moist and flavorful. I love that they’re packed with chocolate chips too, yet are surprisingly low sugar. These muffins are great for breakfast, as a snack, even for dessert. Sometimes I’ll be a little extra and even drizzle almond butter on top. Recipe details and nutrition facts are below. I hope you enjoy!
