Flourless Pumpkin Mocha Brownie Muffins

6

A healthier breakfast treat with all whole ingredients that my kids won’t stop asking for. That’s why we make these again and again. Well that and the fact that they taste INCREDIBLY YUMMY. The espresso powder really levels up the baking here but don’t worry if you don’t have any, you can sub in instant coffee powder/granules, OR you can just leave it out and bake on. They will still taste amazing.

For the ingredients we are using canned pumpkin puree. You can substitute that with 2 large, ripe, mashed bananas, sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree. Any one of these ingredients will provide you with an ultra fluffy muffin.
