Yes it's the start of fall so of course I am going to post something with pumpkin in it.
However, I've been making these for the past few months and it just dawned on me that I have yet to blog about these amazing muffins that I devour weekly.
Pumpkin has ~Vitamin A 2650 IU that, my friends, is a A LOT of Vitamin A.
Why does this matter?
Well because Vitamin A has a multitude of health benefits for the body including, eye health, skin health, teeth and bone health, and is made from the powerful antioxidant beta-carotene which in current studies has helped fight cancer.
So eat up my friends.
Oh did I mention each muffin is ~64 calories, 8 carbs, 4g protein, and 2g fiber? Yup.
Enjoy.
