Healthy Pumkin Muffins

Ingredients

2 cups Dates

2 cups Hot water

1 cup Pumpkin puree

1/4 cup Oil

2 cups All Bran

1 cup Almond flour

1 cup Whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons Baking soda

2 teaspoons Baking powder

2 teaspoons Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon Turmeric (optional)

A few grind of black pepper (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. (175°C.)

Put the 2 cups of dates in a big bowl and poor the same amount of hot water. Crush with a potatoe masher, add 1/4 cup oil, 1 cup of pumpkin and mix well. Add the 2 cups of bran and mix well. Add the 1 cup of almond flour and mix, the 1 cup of wheat flour, the 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric (if using), a few grind of black pepper (if using) and mix just to combine.

Oil or line muffin thins and bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Store bought muffins are too sugary and not nutritious, they are cake to me. My muffins are healthy, yet delicious and filling. The sweetness comes from the dates, the softness from the pumpkin and the satisfaction from the almond and whole wheat flour.

I am particularly proud of this recipe. I hope you give it a try, if you do please let me know about it. I'd like to hear from you.

Eat healthy, be healthy.
