I am completely pumpkin obsessed! However, for the past month, I’ve been on a strict autoimmune paleo (AIP) healing protocol, which is basically an intense elimination diet. The reason for it is to heal my Leaky Gut and try to prevent getting a full-blown autoimmune disease, especially since I already have hypothyroidism. It was super challenging for me to get my pumpkin fix because of the restrictions I was facing in my diet, but thankfully I found inspiration from AIP bloggers to create these DELICIOUS pumpkinny treats. I even served them at a girls night last week and they were a huge success! They are guilt free and easy to make. Enjoy :)
