The Convenience of Make Ahead Breakfasts and Healthy Snacks

I especially love the convenience of muffins in the morning. If you too are a fan of “Make Ahead Breakfast”, then you know how wonderful it is to rely on grab-n-go morning meals. One of the great things about this super easy recipe for Healthy Pumpkin Muffins is that if you spend just 15 minutes preparing them on a Sunday afternoon then you’ll have breakfast ready made for the week ahead.

Oh! And they freeze beautifully.

We almost always make a double batch so we have plenty for breakfast and lots of leftovers for the kids to grab off the counter. If you have teenagers like we do, then you know they eat all the time. These fluffy, moist healthy Pumpkin Muffins do the trick while boosting their bodies with plenty of nutrient-dense ingredients that aid to health benefits.

Swap Your Muffins Tins for 100% Ceramic Non-Toxic Muffins Pans

Consider swapping your muffins pans for 100% non-toxic muffin pans. Aluminum and other metals can leach into your food and the non-stick pans and ceramic-coated pans are even worse! Ick. If you’re looking for a place to start this Xtrema 6 Standard Muffin Pan is a good go-to in my kitchen plus you can save an extra 15% off by using our exclusive code: CCX15 with your order.

I recommend that you slowly begin switching out your toxic kitchen cookware for 100% ceramic cookware. Xtrema Cookware is our go-to for stovetop cooking, this new deep 9″x5″ Loaf Pan and this 6-count muffin pan. All other baking, we prefer Pampered Chef for their durability, amazing heat retention and easy-to-clean surfaces.

The Perfect Recipe for Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

This recipe for gluten free Pumpkin Muffins is made with a few key ingredients that keep the nutrients big and the flavor amazing.

#1: Use Whole Grain Gluten Free Flour Instead of Wheat Flour

I swapped out the traditional wheat flour with whole grain, gluten free flour made by King Arthur Flour. The flour is a cup-for-cup replacement for any of your other cookie recipes that call for flour.

#2: Naturally Sweetened with Organic Pitted Dates

We love using pitted dates as a sweetener replacement for refined white sugar. You can also use date sugar or coconut sugar if you have them.

#3: Always, Always Bake with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

If you’ve not tried coconut oil before, I want to encourage you to pick up a small coconut oil oil from Nutiva Organics and experiment with it. I’m going to venture to say that coconut oil makes even better cookies than butter. Trust me, a few years ago I doubted this myself.

#4: Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

This Recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice is a perfect blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves. Pumpkin Pie Spice is a perfect substitute for recipes that call for just cinnamon. From Pumpkin Donuts to Easy Candied Pecans, we use this recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice in several recipes.
