Thanksgiving is almost here and anyone who has cooked a Thanksgiving dinner knows two things, 1 - you need an easy and quick breakfast for that morning that you can eat on the run and 2 - everyone expects cookies! With these two recipes I have you covered, the muffins can be made the day before and taste simply amazing reheated with a little sugar free maple syrup on top (just wait to frost them after you heat them up) and with this cookie recipe no one would ever guess that they aren’t loaded with butter and sugar!! So enjoy your holiday with family and friends and eat up these pumpkin treats knowing they won’t ruin your fitness goals.
