These Grain-free pumpkin raisin muffins have quickly become a weekly favorite in our household.
Their inspiration comes from one of my favorite cookbooks “Every Day Paleo Family Cookbook” by Sarah Fragoso. The reason I love this cookbook is because it lives up to its title EVERY DAY…as in you can easily fit these recipes into everyday life…which is important when feeding a busy family a nourishing whole foods diet. So I share this recipe that has been working for us.

P.S. Just a disclaimer…pure bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) is allowed on the full GAPS diet for those who do not have low stomach acid issues. I recommend proceeding with caution, and listening to your body.
