These healthy muffins get a ton of moisture and vitamin A from the pumpkin puree they contain. Almond flour replaces half of the all-purpose flour, which helps increase the protein content. Chia seeds add texture as well as healthy fat and fiber. A trio of spices — cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom — complement the pumpkin and punch up the warm fall flavor of the muffins. A sprinkle of shelled pumpkin seeds on top adds a final fall touch and a boost of magnesium. Enjoy these with a hot cup of coffee for breakfast, or with warm cider for an afternoon pick me up.
