Fall is officially here and so are some of our favorite fall flavors. I love pretty much everything pumpkin, except Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Pumpkin is one of my favorite ingredients to bake with, and I don’t reserve it just for the fall. It’s full of great things like fiber, can help you reduce your blood pressure and is supposed to help you sleep better. But with all of its great health benefits – the best part is it’s flavor!

There are so many ways to enjoy pumpkin, but one of the quickest is in muffins. This recipe is so easy to make, has a bit of chocolate added in and is dairy free (except for the chocolate chips of course), and is gluten-free. But don’t worry, if you don’t want to make them gluten-free just use all-purpose flour and you’ll quickly have two dozen muffins that your family will love!
