Nut-Free Paleo Chocolate Butternut Squash Muffins

Healthy enough for a muffin. Chocolatey enough to be a cupcake. Nut-Free Paleo Chocolate Butternut Squash Muffins are a delicious little way to serve up something sweet that also fuels your body on nothing but the good stuff!

A good muffin recipe is Alice's love language. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, the middle of the night.....my girl loves her muffins and I love how much goodness I can shove into her favorite food.

With school back in season, I have been dreaming up all the easy nut-free options that I can throw into her lunch box that are not only delicious and sure to be gobbled up, but that are also nutrient dense....which means veggies, protein and healthy fats.
