    Happy Monday guys!  Hope you all had a great weekend and it wasn't as rainy as ours. All our games were rained out and we pretty much vegged out all weekend.

    It was glorious!

    Sometimes you need those lazy weekends to catch up on your new favorite shows. In our case, that show is Touch on Netflix.  Check it out. It's not often that we all find a show we like and it's appropriate for all ages.  It is so cute and really makes you think.

    These lovely Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins (what a mouthful) were inspired by my trip to Costco last week.  I found this Blue Diamond Almond Flour and had to try it out.

    I love this new product because they grind the almonds so fine that they become a powder and this means your gluten-free baked goods are more likely to turn out. They sift skinless almonds so there won't be any hard pieces of skin in your flour.  Huge win!

    Generally, I replace half the flour with almond flour and I like to use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour or similar for the other half. Almond flour is healthy and full of protein but it can add too much fat to your baked goods.  Remember how they say just eat a handful of almonds?  Well, same here.

    These are nothing like the packaged muffins you find in the grocery store.  They are full of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and fiber.

    These Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Pumpkins Muffins are...

    • moist
    • dense
    • flavorful
    • full of melty chocolate chunks

    • gluten free

    These Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins are perfectly filling for morning or an afternoon snack.  They have a dense, moist texture not fluffy like regular white flour muffins.  They do not spike your blood sugar and make you crave sweets for the rest of the day.  The only refined sugar is in the chocolate chips and you can use a dark chocolate bar with no sugar if you prefer.  Just chop it into small pieces. I sweetened mine with maple syrup but you can also use honey, agave or regular sugar.

      I've never baked with almond flour. This looks like the perfect first recipe - I can't turn down pumpkin 😉
