Perfectly Paleo Pumpkin swirl cakes

Tonight I made some muffins to incorporate into our meals this week. These were delicious!! Brandon told me to make about 4 more batches to make sure that he really does like them ;)
These came from blending a few recipes together. My friend has a blog and she posted about cinnamon swirl muffins. I thought it sounded great but I really wanted to try some pumpkin spice muffing instead. So I combined the two recipes and got "Perfectly Paleo Pumpkin Swirl Cakes".

Preheat oven to 350F
 
Ingredients:
1/2 C Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie spice
1/2 can of Canned Pumpkin
6 Eggs
1/3 cup Agave Nectar or pure Honey
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 C Coconut oil, melted

Cinnamon swirl Ingredients:
1/4 C. Honey
1/4C Coconut Oil, Melted
2 Tbs Ground Cinnamon





Muffin Process:
· Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
· Combine Pumpkin and eggs (one at a time) and wet ingredients into a bowl
· Pour Wet mixture into the dry ingredients and use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients until it is well blended, no lumps.
· Pour batter into muffin tins, 2/3 of the way up. *Paper tends to be a bit stickier, try tin or just grease a pan.*
Cinnamon Swirl Process:
· In a separate bowl combine all the ingredients and whisk until well blended. *you can add chopped walnuts if desired*
· Top each muffin with about a teaspoon of swirl mixture. Use a toothpick to swirl the mixture into the pumpkin muffin.
Bake:
·  Place the muffins in the oven 350F.
· Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
· Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes, these are delicious warm!
