Easy Chocolate Chip Orange Pecan Muffins

 These Easy Chocolate Chip Orange Pecan Muffins came together in a pinch when I was looking for quick make-ahead breakfast and snack ideas for the school year!


Easy Chocolate Chip Orange Pecan Muffins

Back to School means I gotta stay on top of my game and try not to decide what’s for dinner at actual dinner time. During the Summer days I tend to get pretty laid back, so laid back that sometimes dinner looks like carrot sticks, a pouch of tuna, and a frozen bag of peas. And honestly, I’m ok with that too, but for my own peace of mind, I try to stay a little more on top of things during the school year because without something that resembles a schedule, it seems everything else unravels quickly. So having a dinner plan gives me a false sense of control that I cling to and I’m good with that. 

Easy Chocolate Chip Orange Pecan Muffins

Yesterday I got a wild hair to go on a little cooking spree while the kids were at school. I made a giant Cobb Salad from Down South Paleo with my favorite Maple Vinaigrette (page 112 if you have the book). And then I decided to make some egg salad ahead for the next day as well as Legit Pancakes for the week. And since I had everything out, I decided to have a little fun with a bag of Legit Pancake Mix and some dried Valencia orange zest I picked up from the store this week. A hint of citrus sounded exactly like what I wanted.

You can use an immersion or vertical blender to zhush these up and in half an hour, warm gooey muffins are yours for the devouring. Having Legit mixes on hand makes these that much easier, since you don’t have to spend time measuring but a couple ingredients! You can easily freeze these or leave them covered in foil at room temperature if you plan to consume them in a few days. Feel free to omit the nuts or add in other mix ins if you desire and slathering a little ghee or dairy free butter is always a good idea too.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
