HEALTHY Whole Wheat Pumpkin Mufffins

Shout out to my girl, Mackenzie Ford, who passed along this recipe via Instagram (you should follow her, she posts great workout tips and healthy recipes - makeitfreshfitness). 

I couldn't resist so I made these muffins last night and I was quite pleased with the outcome to say the least! I think I ate 3 or 4 last night....whoops! 

These smell and taste like Fall, so get in the spirit and start baking, besides, the first day of Fall is right around the corner (September 22nd)!

Happy Baking!
