Pumpkin is so versatile and so good for us! Not only does it containcarotenoids, beta-carotene, fiber, potassium and Tryptophan (found in Prozac), it also helps keep our eyes healthy and our skin wrinkle-free!
I want to share with you a pumpkin muffin recipe that is perfect for breakfast or as afternoon snack! Since these muffins are Nut-Free and Gluten-Free, they are a healthy, delicious muffin to bring to school. I always have these ingredients in my pantry or refrigerator, so I can make these muffins whenever I need them.

Notes
- You can add pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for added texture while still keeping the muffin Nut-Free.
