This post is sponsored by Simple Mills®, but the opinions are my own.
These Healthy Chocolate Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins are as easy as it gets for Thanksgiving!!
I am so excited to be teaming up with Simple Mills to bring you these Healthy Chocolate Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins!
You guys know I am a huge fan of Simple Mills products and these muffins are absolutely no exception – I know from experience that baking with paleo-friendly ingredients can be a challenge! But these muffins, which are made from such simple, wholesome ingredients (almond-flour base), turn out perfectly every time! They are light and fluffy and are a delicious combination of pumpkin and ginger!
I added some chocolate chips and snuck in some zucchini (you guys also know I love sneaking in hidden veggies for kids like in these healthy chocolate chip cookies!) and I also made them into mammoth muffins!
They would be a seriously easy Thanksgiving dessert or a fun kid-friendly breakfast! If you can’t find them in the store – you can always find them here!





I have even more recipes coming at you guys the rest of the week – so stay tuned!! Happy menu planning!

Is there any way to make this recipe without the simple mills pumpkin mix? Say, with pumpkin puree, flour, etc?
