Coconut Flour Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Is anyone else as excited about Fall as I am?? I cannot wait for the leaves to change and to feel the crisp cool air! Not to mention all the delicious pumpkin recipes!!! I’ve recently discovered coconut flour and have started baking with it like crazy around here.

I’m honestly sad that it took me so long to try it. It is such a great option if you are looking for a healthy, delicious, grain free (gluten free) baking option. If you have never baked with coconut flour then I urge you to try this recipe, it will truly open your eyes to how easy it is to bake with out using wheat or other grains. 

 

 

I always look forward to this time of year so I can bake pumpkin breads, cookies, muffins etc…. and this is the first time I’m doing it using coconut flour. These muffins came out great. Pumpkin + Chocolate is the best combination. The texture is so fluffy and perfect.
