My entire health coaching philosophy is based around the idea of making really simple, really basic swaps to the food you eat in order to increase your nutritional intake and really get your metabolism going to help burn excess fat.
And yes! This applies to delicious snacks such as Pumpkin Muffins!
In this recipe we swap out sugar for applesauce, white flour for whole wheat, canola oil for coconut oil. That means without sacrificing the taste, just with those simple swaps you're already getting way more nutrients than in a traditional muffin recipe - with way less guilt!
