Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

A small break between our thanksgiving stretchy pants and Halloween candy has us craving healthy but satisfying snack options.

These pumpkin muffins are made with Heritage Vanilla Yogurt and sweetened with maple syrup.. the perfect pair with your morning coffee! Make sure to freeze them or eat them up within a day or two for maximum deliciousness.

You don’t need to, but we love to top these with pecan and a sprinkle of raw sugar. The muffins are not sweet, so the little sprinkle of sugar really makes for a good muffin top!
