Happy Friday! The weekend is upon us and it’s begging the question- how will you treat yourself?! I’m offering up these muffins as an option. They’re free of refined sugar (and low in sugar in general) and gluten-free, easy to whip up and so delicious! Slathered in organic grass-fed melted butter, they’re a dream. A muffin lover’s Fall dream. Hope you love and have a great weekend all! xx- Sarah

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.

Yum! These look delish Sarah! Pinning.
Ooo yum yum!! These must be delicious!!
These turned out excellent. I have already passed along the recipe to numerous people. I found I had to bake longer (somewhere around 22 minutes), which may be related to high altitude–use that toothpick. Also sprinkled some coconut sugar and cinnamon on top with the pecans.
Mine took about 22 to 25 minutes and I’m low altitude. But delicious!
