Maple Pumpkin Muffins
This week The Rx Review is going to give you a recipe to bake some organic, paleo and highly nutritional maple pumpkin muffins.
This recipe is certainly for anyone who craves sweet treats, that are also hearty and healthy. It’s also ideal for anyone who loves pumpkins, or even squash foods. Since pumpkin and squash are in the same family (they are both Curcubita and gourds) you could even substitute the pumpkin for squash if you want to try something a little more exotic. However, we think the pumpkin offers a more hearty and appetising final product!
Rather than bake a typical chocolate muffin which is high in refined sugar, carbohydrates and cholesterol, why not try making some maple pumpkin muffins instead?
Our recipe is very easy to follow and will ensure you have some healthy, hearty and filling muffins to show for at the end of your bake.
They go great with a coffee at the beginning or day, or even after dinner. And you also don’t have to feel too guilty having them before bed as they are quite low in sugars and carbohydrates. So, in order to make the delicious muffins – all you’ll need is a convection oven and essential ingredients, that’s it. Amazing right?

These maple pumpkin muffins usually take around 10 minutes of prep time and half an hour to cook. The above recipe usually serves around 10 muffins.
You can also add several amino acids, or specific daily supplements to these muffins to keep up with your dietary requirements. I often add several amino acids into my muffins as well as some protein powder at times.
