Let’s begin this recipe by mixing your almond milk and shredded coconut into a blender. Blend this for about 30 seconds. After that just put all of the other ingredients into the blender. I word highly recommend that the pulse setting and blend everything until it’s nice and creamy. This will give you more of a thick consistency and if you prefer to have it be a bit more liquid just added more unsweetened almond milk until you have the consistency that you prefer.

This is a wonderful recipe and it’s one of my go to snacks. Let’s begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Take a muffin pan and place cupcake liners in each slot. Then take a good-sized bowl and whisk together the eggs, Stevia and pumpkin until it’s nice and puffy. After that stir in all of the other ingredients until everything is thoroughly blended together.
