These wholesome muffins highlight the best of fall spices and ingredients. Walnuts and cranberries shine as the stars of this anytime Paleo treat — perfect at the start of your day with a cup of coffee, as a mid-morning snack, or an afternoon indulgence with tea.

I picture you sitting by a cozy fire, enjoying one of these muffins!

When I tell you people freak out when they try these muffins, I am absolutely serious, no joke. These moist gluten-free muffins are filled with and topped with a creamy nutty Nutella-like hazelnut chocolate spread. I use Good Good Belgian Coco HazelSpread which has no added refined sweeteners, which makes this muffin the perfect healthyish after school sweet treat. Grown ups and kids alike are crazy about this muffin. Because they are peanut-free, sugar-free and can be made vegan, they are the perfect baked good to bring to school to share.
