These muffins are sure to warm you up. This recipe even includes substitutions, specifically for those looking to make breakfast time a little healthier. Relax indoors and treat yourself to a delicious pumpkin muffin!

Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs beaten

  • 2 cups flour (for healthy substitution use 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour instead of regular flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 packages instant coconut pudding

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
  4. Spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tins.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
