Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun Muffins {almond & coconut flour}
I’ve combined two great muffins into one: pumpkin cinnamon bun muffins. My cinnamon bun muffins must be quite a hit with many since I’ve received several personal emails thanking me for that recipe.

Trail Mix Bars
I’ve seen a lot of Kind bar replica recipes lately, which kicked me into working on a replacement for my old granola bar recipe, which was desperately in need of an update. I’ve also revisited the ratio and ingredients for two other snack bars from way back, using toasted brown rice and millet. My older son and …
Orange Creamsicles {dairy free}
