Pumpkin Muffins (Grain-Free)
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
These grain-free muffins are made with ground almonds instead of flour, but you could substitute ground pumpkin seeds or sesame seed butter instead. Unlike muffins made from gluten-free flour, these stay moist for a whole week, in a covered container in your fridge.The orange and ginger flavours add just the right amount of zing.
