Paleo Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Muffins + Pumpkin Frosting

Can’t stop won’t stop with the pumpkin recipes!!! Now that it’s October it feels like pumpkin season can TRULY begin (but ya’ll know I’ve been ready for weeks now).

I whipped these delicious paleo chocolate chunk pumpkin muffins (with pumpkin frosting!!!) before heading off to Portland to visit a gal pal and go to a concert and I’m soooo happy I did! They made for the perfect road trip treat and I got to share them with my friend!

They’re refined sugar free, dairy free, grain free and easily made Specific Carbohydrate Diet friendly simply by omitting the chocolate! 

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season approaching is getting to make treats that people with food intolerances or gut health issues enjoy because I know all too well what it feels like to be “left out” of the festivities.

This time of year can be especially hard if you’re newly navigating a new restricted diet, new food intolerance or a new diagnosis. I hope with all of my recipes, and especially these paleo chocolate chunk pumpkin bread muffins, that I can make you feel a little more “normal” during this special time of year!

So expect all of the yummy pumpkin treats to keep coming ya’ll!!! :)
