Warm pumpkin muffins full of tantalising spices and gooey chocolate chips, fresh from the oven.
Fall is in the air! Sometimes I feel like Anne Shirley as I welcome the joys of Autumn. Crisp leaves are turning colors and falling to the ground to be crunched under our feet.
I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

As the cooler weather settles in I find myself longing for moments to curl up in a cozy sweater with a good book and tasty pumpkin treats like soaked pumpkin scones and pumpkin pie lattes. Even as the world is “dying” I find myself coming alive after a long, hot summer.
What better way to celebrate the changing of seasons than with treats full of warming spices like cinnamon and ginger that we find to be synonymous with this time of year?
When you have food allergies or sensitivities it can be disheartening when so many pumpkin delights are off limits. That’s where these pumpkin chocolate chip coconut flour muffins come in. They are grain and dairy-free (if you chose) yet are not lacking in flavor. They have been a favorite in my house for a few years now and I am happy that they are finally being shared with you!

How long/well do these keep? I’ve tried baking muffins with coconut flour before and noticed they only kept on the counter for a day. How did you store these and for how long?
I am so sorry I missed this Amy! I only leave them on the counter for a couple days before I put them in the fridge. I keep them in a glass container for no more than a week.
