Pumpkin Apple Almond Meal Muffins

You guys…! I haven’t posted a recipe on Nutrition Nut in FOR-ever! I’m sure you’re just as aware of that as I am. In fact, the last recipe I shared – ironically – were those sweet summer Peach Coconut Almond Meal Muffins. 

I like to keep a batch of muffins in my freezer for weekday breakfasts; since I was all I out, I whipped up a batch of autumn appropriate almond meal muffins between tackling the post-vacation laundry monster. Ever since discovering how easy it is to bake with almond meal – muffins in particular – I can’t go back to using whole wheat flour. 

My recipe creation skills are a bit rusty, and my patience for food photography is meek, but I hope you enjoy the recipe nevertheless. It’s a healthy one folks. I haven’t succumbed to the sugar-laden holiday treat extravaganza quite yet.

Recipe Notes >> I used a skimpy two tablespoons of pure maple syrup. You could certainly add another tablespoon or two, and I presume honey would be a tasty substitute. Also, I’ve been boycotting canola/vegetable oil as much as possible in my baking and cooking, but you can use the oil of your choice (coconut oil would be a great option here).

    I’ve been so obsessed w/ muffins lately. They work so well freezing them and then taking them out the morning of. I’ll have to give this recipe a try!

    This weekend I’m going to SF for din with my friend who is in town from Germany. She’s a flight attendant so it’s a quick visit. Then I’m off Saturday morning for a weekend girls getaway with my mom, cousin, and aunt to Monterey. Should be a fun one! Hope your mother daughter weekend is awesome.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
