These muffins are not only gluten free, but they are SO nutrient dense. High in protein from the chickpea flour, almond meal, egg and greek yoghurt AND full of vegetables from the pumpkin these muffins make the best snack or even a small meal! Also great for mama to snack on, especially great one-handed postpartum snack when breastfeeding!!
