Pumpkin muffins

We have all grown up eating baked goods and from time to time it is really hard to resist temptation. So it is fun to know a couple of recipes that replace those items that we crave the most. I have been starting off from Mark Sisson's recipe from the "Primal Blueprint cookbook", but I like to add more pumpkin.

Ingredients:   1/2 cup coconut flour 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp clove 1tsp baking powder 6 eggs 3/4 cups pumpkin puree or 1/2 can 1tsp vanilla 1/4 cup nuts (walnuts or pecan or macadamia) Crushed chocolate 4 tbsp coconut oil 1/3 cup maple syrup

Directions

Heat the oven at 400 degrees. Mix the flour, spices and baking powder well together in one bowl and mix the eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, coconut oil (might need to be melted), maple syrup in another bowl. Once you have smooth texture in the egg mixture, blend in the flour. No need to overmix. Finally add the crushed nuts and the crushed chocolate. Grease a muffin pan (olive oil or butter) and use a tablespoon or cup measurer to scoop the mixture into the pan. Bake for about 18 to 20 min.

I usually get 12 muffins out of this recipe. It is a great quick breakfast and an even better craving satisfier.
