An Important Message From Yours Truly - Body Shaming

I’m just going to put this out there. Stop the body shaming! Just because a girl is skinny and has small boobs, doesn’t mean she’s not a “real woman.” Just because a girl has lots of curves and big boobs, doesn’t mean she is “fat”. Also, just because someone is skinny or big, doesn’t mean they are or are not healthy. You have one body to live in – take care of it and be PROUD of yourself! Never compare yourself to anyone else. Be comfortable in your own skin and know that everyone has different genetics.  It’s all about being STRONG and HEALTHY for me!  

Pumpkin Maple Muffins

I LOVE love love pumpkin anything! This is one of my fave recipes from the Fixate Cookbook. The cookbook also has 100 more recipes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and Shakeology. You can use it with you 21 Day Fix portion control containers, too!
RECIPE
What you'll need:
~2 OZ cream cheese (I used neufchatel cheese)
~1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (organic)
~1 large egg, slightly beaten
~1 cup pumpkin puree
~1.5 cups almond flour (you can make your own)
~3/4 tsp baking soda (gf)
~1 dash sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
I ADDED about 2 tsps of Pumpkin Pie Extract to this recipe!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare nine muffin cups and coat with coconut oil.
Combine cream cheese and maple syrup in a small bowl and set aside.
Combine egg, pumpkin, and extract in a medium bowl and set aside.
Combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add almond meal mixture to egg mixture; mix until just blended.
Spoon batter into each muffin cup a little less than 1/2 full.
Add a heaping tsp of cream cheese mix into center.
Evenly fill muffin cups with remaining batter.
You can sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top, but I SPRINKLED CINNAMON & PUMPKIN PIE SPICE.
Bake 16-18 min or until golden brown. Transfer muffins to rack; cool.

ENJOY!

It's CLEAN and HEALTHY and tastes like dessert! This recipe is pretty much all "to taste", so have fun with it! Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.

(I cut up about 5 for each serving) Cover with tin foil and bake for about 25 min. Topping: Mix in two dollops of plain non-fat Greek yogurt 3 packets of Stevia Cinnamon Enjoy!
