These easy blender muffins are healthy and guilt-free. They have no refined sugar or flour! The addition of pumpkin spice adds a fall flavor, but you can still use up the remaining zucchini of the summer season for a healthy snack.

Makes 12

Prep time: 25 minutes

These are soft and moist and are still delicious a day or two after making them. You can freeze them for longer storage as well. They make a perfect on the go breakfast to go with coffee, or a nice afternoon snack with a cup of tea.

Variations: you can swap whatever nuts you like here (pecans would be a nice choice) and add dark chocolate chips if you’re looking for more of a dessert like treat.
