I love everything about pumpkin and will be sharing even more of my healthy recipes later on in this series.
I love this time of year because of the Fall decorations and everything pumpkin. Today in my 31 Days of Clean Eating, Meal Planning and Prep series I am show casing a new healthy recipe I created the other day.
The Perfect Healthy Fall Pumpkin Brownie
When I think of the perfect brownie of course chocolate chips are usually involved and I love using almond flour as it gives such a great texture and flavor.
I was super agitated the other day and when I get like this I usually start cleaning or I bake.
I think baking was a good choice because I made apple pumpkin muffins, egg muffins, and these brownies which last about an hour if that.
My kids raved about them and my husband said, “Babe you should share these with your friends.”
To be sure it wasn’t a fluke I made them again and they still tasted amazing.
One of the many misconceptions with clean eating is people think they cannot have treats in their diet.
I am here to say this is not a diet, it is a life style and every now and again having a healthy pumpkin brownie won’t kill you or your waste line.
