Recipe by Guest Chef: Neda Varbanova
These muffins are ideal for fall. The house will be filled with delicious aroma and if you have kids, they will devour them! They make for a great healthy snack as they are high in fiber, dairy-free, gluten-free and have no refined sugar. I used tiger nut flour, which is a great source of dietary fiber and naturally gluten-free. The pumpkin purée is high in iron, which is a mineral that helps to prevent you from getting sick in the colder months. The turmeric used in this recipes boosts the immune system and it is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory spices on the market. This recipe is filled with good-for-you nutrients! Enjoy!
