August’s Recipe
These Healthy Spiced Pecan Pumpkin Muffins celebrate seasonal pumpkin, feature protein-packed almond flour, and use heart-healthy olive oil instead of butter. They’re a great meal prep breakfast or wholesome on-the-go snack.
YOU’LL LEARN THROUGH MAKING THIS RECIPE:
- The magic of pumpkin purée in baking. Pumpkin purée isn’t just for flavour! This recipe will show you how certain veggies, like pumpkin, can replace some of the fats traditionally used in baking, like butter or oil, for moist muffins that aren’t dense.
- Using almond flour for texture and nutrition. Utilising almond flour alongside regular flour adds a gloriously rustic, tender crumb, while boosting the healthy fats and protein. This means muffins that are more filling and nutritious!
