When I tell you these are my new favorite muffins, I'm not exaggerating. All I did was tweak my favorite pumpkin muffin recipe and these beauties were born into my life. And not just my life, but also Andy's, my team at work's, and a handful of friends who came through the house shortly after I baked these up. All were in agreement: these are SO freaking tasty.

 
 
 
 

Growing up, I remember one of my favorite breakfasts being the chocolate chocolate chip muffins from Publix. While my chunky kid-self loved the chance to eat chocolate covered chocolate for breakfast, it probably wasn't the healthiest and most nutrient filled breakfast I could have been consuming before a long day at school.

So what makes these muffins so much better? They're paleo. No added sugars. No gluten. No dairy. They are loaded with delicious flavor and even better when you warm them up for a few seconds. Like melt in your mouth better.
