While having
coffee with my friend Cynthia she told me about this Paleo, low carb pancake
recipe she made, but was not overly excited about. When she told me what the
ingredients were I knew it was missing something; and thereafter, I was
determined to master the taste and texture. So I started experimenting by mixing various
ingredients with Pumpkin, Almond flour, and Coconut Oil; and that is how I ended
up discovering these crowd pleasing, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. Not only
does my husband approve and love them but my father does too! One batch of
these muffins will not be enough. I have made them at least
five times with the intention of giving them to Cynthia but they never last more than a couple hours in my kitchen…
