Ingredients

Dry

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • pinch of sea salt

Wet

  • 4 eggs room-temperature
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling!

Toppings

  • pumpkin seeds optional, but highly recommended for the crunch!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F and prepare your muffin tin with 9 liners. Personally, I like using my silicone muffin liners for easy clean up, but you could also use paper liners or simply spray the pan with some nonstick spray (either coconut, avocado, or olive oil base).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine your coconut flour, baking soda, and spices.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat your eggs until foamy. Next, add in the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Add pumpkin and mix until fully combined.
  5. Dump in your dry ingredients; it’s okay to do this all at once! Mix thoroughly until no lumps are left.
  6. Spoon dough equally into the muffin liners and smooth the tops down. They won’t flatten out during baking, so be sure to make them look their best!
  7. Sprinkle each muffin with pumpkin seeds.
  8. Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out cleanly.
