Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum if needed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg ground
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk of choice dairy or non-dairy

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and milk. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins freeze beautifully! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. For added texture, stir in ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking.
