Okay, so I’ve posted a recipe for Pumpkin Muffins.

UPDATE:  Kids requested I make this recipe again the day before Thanksgiving and we are still eating on it. (They took a slice with their lunch today!) I made Pumpkin Bread with the same recipe.  Still the same, different shape.  Bake it longer until toothpick comes out clean.

But, today, I have an Allergy-Friendly Pumpkin Muffin recipe.  A friend, ‘co-worker’, and my partner-in-nutrition-crime gave me this recipe.  I hope to continue to share more allergy friendly recipes in the future.  She can vouch for these muffins herself, along with her 2 kids. They love them!

Hey friend, next time, send me a picture too!!
