Description

These Flourless Pumpkin Muffins are a delicious, gluten-free, and low-sugar treat perfect for fall or any time you crave a moist, spiced snack. Made with almond meal and pumpkin puree, they offer a naturally tender texture without any flour. Mini muffins are recommended for a lighter bite, but the recipe can easily be adjusted for regular-sized muffins. Sweetened lightly and flavored with warm cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, they make a wholesome breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond meal (or almond flour) – 120g
  • 3 tbsp sugar (or granulated sugar-free sweetener)
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)

Optional

  • Handful of mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to ensure easy release of muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, sugar or sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk the pumpkin puree and egg (or flax egg) together, then add them to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined. If desired, fold in a handful of mini chocolate chips at this stage.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 10 minutes if making mini muffins or 15 minutes for larger muffins.
  6. Cool and Remove: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin. They will continue to firm up as they cool. To remove, carefully run a knife around the edges of each muffin and pop them out gently.
