Chocolate-Drizzled Pumpkin Muffins

We love these pumpkin muffins!  It was a recipe I found on the blog Riddlelove years ago.  It has become a staple in our home.  The original recipe is gluten-free and grain-free.  If you do not have the almond or coconut flour on hand, either or both can be substituted with wheat flour.  You can find the full recipe HERE.

They are delicious right out of the oven as well as refrigerated overnight.

Just mix all ingredients up in your blender, bake, drizzle and serve:

Today we enjoyed these muffins as a part of our advent celebration, along with the advent devotional by Ann Voskamp, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift: A Family Celebration of Christmas.  It is a beautiful journey through the lineage of Jesus, with daily suggestions on how to make your Christmas more holy.   Each day comes with ornaments you can print or purchase.  We chose to print them and are hanging them on our Gratitude Tree we left up after November.  Additionally, we LOVE our beautiful advent wreath.  Each day we light a candle as we read our devotions.  If you are interested in purchasing one, they are available HERE.
