Healthy Pumpkin Muffins with Whole Wheat Flour are a perfect fall dessert, breakfast or snack. They are sweetened with honey (no white sugar), made in one bowl and so fluffy!

These fall-flavored muffins are healthier than a traditional pumpkin muffin. They are made with a mix of whole wheat and almond flour. They are sweetened with honey and contain a small amount of avocado oil for moistness. I added dark chocolate chips into the mix, but feel free to add nuts, dried fruit or white chocolate chips instead. Get creative! These muffins would be extra special topped with a drizzle of nut butter.

After you make these muffins, try out my Healthy Pumpkin Cookies with Almond Flour and Healthy Chocolate Pumpkin Pie.
