Ingredients
Scale
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
- optional handful mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease a mini muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together the almond flour, sugar or sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the pumpkin puree and egg or flax egg into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and consistent. Optionally, fold in a handful of mini chocolate chips.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups in the mini muffin tin.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the center rack of the oven and bake for 10 minutes for mini muffins. If making large muffins, bake for 15 minutes.
- Cool and Remove: Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool completely in the tin, as they will continue to firm up. Once cooled, carefully run a knife around each muffin and pop them out of the tin.
Notes
- Mini muffins yield a lighter texture; large muffins will be denser but still delicious.
- You can substitute the sugar with a sugar-free sweetener for a lower-carb version.
- To make it vegan, use a flax egg instead of a real egg.
- Be sure to grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking, especially with almond flour recipes.
- These muffins pair well with the popular Keto Pumpkin Bread recipe for more pumpkin-flavored treats.
