Alright, truth time…this is the time of year that I start gaining weight. I know that I am not the only one, but every fall and winter becomes a struggle for me to eat all of the goodies that I want, but to try to maintain a healthy weight. I love baked goods and tend to make them often, so I have come up with ways to trick myself into thinking that I am getting an incredibly scrumptious treat, but to make it a bit less calorie and/or fat laden.
These apple pumpkin muffins are the most fantastic healthy treat that I have baked for myself since my paleo crepes. I love them! And I thought that you might too. It wouldn’t be very nice of me to brag about them and not share!
