I have a love affair with muffins. Truly, they are one of my favorite foods on the planet. Because of this affection I have toward muffins, I am committed to creating healthy versions that me and my family can enjoy daily.

This Whole Wheat Honey Pumpkin Muffin is one of my all time favorite recipes. It’s all natural, but so moist and perfectly sweet. While pumpkin may be most popular in the fall, this is a way you can enjoy their super flavor and nutrition all year round.

These muffins are all-natural because they use honey as the only sweetener. When I made these, I was running low on honey so I used 2 different types – Florida orange blossom honey, one of my favorites, and a local dark-amber honey that I get through Black Hog Farm. It’s fun that you can slightly change the flavor of these muffins by just switching up your type of honey. I encourage you to have fun with this and try all kinds of honey.

So feel good about making these muffins any day of the year. I usually make a double batch and store them in the freezer for a quick breakfast for all of Team Braddock. Just heat them up in the microwave for about 20 -30 seconds and you are good to go.

Share this recipe with anyone looking for healthy muffins or a quick breakfast option. Enjoy!
