You’ll Never Guess the Secret Ingredient in These Vegan, Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins

A healthy recipe doesn't have to mean bland or boring and certainly doesn't have to exclude foods we have come to crave. Choosing to follow a particular diet or live a certain way shouldn't always have to be about sacrifice, especially not during the upcoming holiday season, with its aromatic spices and tempting comfort foods. It's actually one of my favorite challenges to turn beloved junk foods and treats into healthy, craveable foods that are in line with a healthy diet. These Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, vegan pumpkin-spiced muffins are no exception.

Containing no refined sugars or grains helps to make these muffins perfect for those who are following a Paleo or gluten-free lifestyle or are trying to reduce inflammation in the body. The addition of warming turmeric not only enhances healing properties, but adds a boost to the immune system as well, just in time for the Fall and Winter months ahead. Who knew these two favorites paired so well? Top with a healthy portion of ghee or sprinkle of coconut sugar and these muffins are a perfect guilt-free treat any time of day.
