These muffins baking in the oven will instantly transform your house to all the feelings of fall! These are my favorite traditional pumpkin muffins.  I use a mix of wheat flour and coconut flour in the, but you can certainly switch out for a gluten-free variety.  I double the recipe and freeze half. Then pop on in the oven for a hot fresh baked breakfast when I’m all cooked out! I got the basics for this recipe from a cookbook I’ve had for years “Feeding the Whole Family”. I have made some healthy changes to the original recipe, reduced the sugar, and some adaptations to make them one of our family’s favorite muffins.  These are simply amazing! Makes 12 muffins
