Happy Tuesday lovely people!

If you follow along on instagram, you’ve probably seen me baking non-stop. Not sure what got into me… but I was feeling the sweets for sure.

I was playing around with some ideas and finally decided to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon and make some killer healthy pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal muffins.

My favorite thing to do is make healthy modifications for what are normally pretty unhealthy recipes. I don’t think anyone should have to sacrifice on flavor or cut out a food just because it’s seen as “off-limits” to them. I used to put foods into a “good” or “bad” category but there’s truly no such thing. Intuitive eating is the way! But that’s a post for another day 🙂

Today is all about these healthy pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal muffins with a cinnamon streusel topping because it’s fall and muffins make me happy!

Michael is my official taste-tester and since moving to Atlanta, his whole work office has become my taste-testers… (no pressure!!) I’m happy to report they 100% approve of this healthy recipe.

( And we’re talking about a bunch of guys here, so that’s saying something 😉 )

He took them into work and said they were gone in 15 minutes — I am now known as the muffin girl, but i’m OK with that! I mean, really, it could be a lot worse.

I made these pumpkin muffins using a boxed spice cake mix, but definitely turned it into my own with a list of other ingredients. I grew up on boxed cake mixes and never saw the harm — just be sure you check the ingredients first! Arrowhead Mills has some great mixes that I often use.
