Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins – Baby & Toddler Muffins

Hallowe’en, and a subsequent pumpkin picking session in a very muddy field left me with two enormous pumpkins this year. They were quite happily rolled around and explored in my front room by the babies, but there came a point where I was sick of tripping over them. 

In my wisdom, I decided to cook the pumpkin flesh before actually finding a recipe (rookie error, make sure you have a recipe first!).. and then struggled to find what I needed. I was dead set on making baby friendly pumpkin muffins, but could not for the life of me find a sugar free recipe! In the end, I ended up developing my own which turned out brilliantly, so thought I’d share it here. 

These are soft, sugar free muffins that I’ve made to have a carrot cake vibe.
