It doesn’t have to be Autumn to enjoy these delicious pumpkin muffins made with Young Living’s Einkorn flour. Untouched by hybridization, einkorn has retained its primitive genetic code that contains only 14 chromosomes—a huge difference from the 42 chromosomes contained in modern hybridized wheat. While not completely gluten-free, it contains less gluten than modern whole wheat and is more abundant in many vitamins and minerals. Plus, this recipe contains such popular holiday oils as Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg and Clove Vitality that you’ll want to stock up on before the celebrations begin.

I tried this Honey Lavender Lemonade while visiting Young Living’s Mona Lavender Farm in Utah. If you’ve never had lavender lemonade or been to Utah, or a farm, put them all on your bucket list. Sitting in the midst of the Utah mountains, sipping lemonade while the lavender plants wave in the breeze is the best way to enjoy it. . . But this recipe will get you close enough.

My kids move in three different directions in the summer so preparing any sort of hot breakfast is impossible. But sometimes I surprise them with a special treat. These yummy muffins are delicious hot or cold and the smell of Young Living’s Cinnamon Bark Vitality Essential Oil wafting through the house is enough to make any busy teen stop for a moment. This delicious recipe usually buys me 5 minutes before they rush off for the morning . . . or before the muffins are gone.
