When it comes to baking, there is no better time of the year than the cooler seasons. Fall brings an abundance of color and flavor that makes experimenting in the kitchen so much fun!! One of my favorite things to bake are muffins; they are the perfect combination of a convenient and healthy snack option for adults and kids alike! (and they’re so cute!) But muffins can be dangerous, those little things can pack quite a calorie punch if you’re not careful!

So I decided to figure out how to make them healthier, without sacrificing any of the deliciousness. This recipe is a spin on my all time favorite muffins – How to Make My Favorite Gingerbread Pumpkin Muffins, and it is AWESOME.

I replaced the oil with applesauce, which has quickly become one of my favorite swaps. (I love using the individual cup size, because you don’t have to worry about using all of it at once!) I’ve also replaced most sweeteners with date sugar or date syrup because, it’s delicious and dates are SO good for you!

Those are just a few of the tips and tricks I’ve started to implement into my everyday recipes! Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think!! This one is sure to have everyone in the family asking, “Can I have some more!?”
