FOOD:

These healthy pumpkin muffins will give you that pumpkin spice fix. And, by reducing sugar, using whole wheat flour and eliminating oil, these are muffins you can feel good about eating. Plus, these are great for the whole family. The kids will start requesting these! I suggest making extra, as these will go fast.
