These Paleo Pumpkin Crunch Muffins are perfect for healthy holiday baking!

 

Baking season is THE BEST.  And my love for a crunchy topping on just about anything – smoothie bowls, salads, and especially muffins, takes over this time of year!  The thing with baked goods is that Matt and I both LOVE them – so we eat them… fast.  So when I bake I like for them to be as healthy as I can make them but still make them tasty and give you that warm homemade treat feeling.  It is a tough feat but after growing up baking all the time and working in a bakery back in the day  – my standards are pretty high!  Let me tell you, these muffins did not last long in our house.  Oh and another huge perk of this muffin recipe? It can also be made into waffles! Just leave out the topping part and scoop the batter into a waffle iron.  I tested this recipe one last time and made 6 muffins then used the rest of the batter to make tons of mini waffles (in my new mini waffle iron) and froze them to have on hand for a quick breakfast or snack!  I am really into my mini waffle iron because it makes them the perfect size to throw in the toaster – winning!  On the subject of this waffle iron – I think I need to use my favorite Simple Mills Bread Mix and the waffle iron to make sandwich bread.  It could revolutionize the world – just a fair warning to you all!
