Ingredients & Substitutions

These blender pumpkin muffins use almond butter as opposed to flour.  Flourless muffins are very moist and fudge-like.  When choosing an almond butter, look for one that only contains almonds and salt.  Any added oils or sugars will change the consistency of the muffins.

Use pumpkin purée, NOT pumpkin pie filling.

A common Paleo sweetener, pure maple syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness to these Pumpkin Muffins!

Pumpkin and chocolate are a killer combo.  Always add chocolate!

Eggs are vital to these flourless muffins. Do not replace eggs with chia eggs, flax eggs or another egg replacement.

Baking soda helps these muffins rise slightly while baking.

Cinnamon adds such a warm and cozy flavor to these muffins.

Pumpkin pie spice adds a unique and delicious flavor! If you don’t have it, substitute an equal amount of cinnamon in.

A pinch of nutmeg goes a long way!

Step 5

Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the muffin tray for 5 minutes before carefully removing.

Expert Tips & Tricks

FULLY BLEND: Blend or mix until batter is completely uniform.  If almond butter is thick, there might be clumps of almond batter in the batter.  Blend until fully mixed!

EXTRA CHOCOLATE CHIPS: The pumpkin and chocolate combo is truly amazing.  Don’t skimp on these!

DON’T OVER BAKE: Bake until muffins are set.  Over baking will lead to dry muffins.

How to Serve & Store

Serve muffins once they have cooled slightly from the oven. They’re absolutely delicious warm with the melted chocolate chips inside!

Store muffins in fridge for best results. Since they are flourless, they are more gooey and moist than normal.

These muffins can be frozen for up to 1 month.

Blender Muffins

It does not get any easier than making muffins in a blender!

For these flourless blender muffins, add all the ingredients except chocolate chips to your blender, food processor or Vitamix. Blend until muffin batter is uniformly mixed.

Since there is quite a bit of nut butter, stop blender and scrape down sides with a rubber spatula if needed.

I used my Vitamix and the batter was mixed in about 10 seconds.

Variations & Add Ins

These flourless pumpkin muffins are delicious as is! Here are some fun ideas for flavor variations. Add in:

  • white chocolate chips
  • pinch of ground ginger
  • chopped walnuts
  • chopped pecans
  • dried cranberries

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these muffins healthy?

These muffins are made with healthy ingredients!

Can I make these muffins without the eggs?

No, these muffins really need the eggs.

Can you freeze these?

Sure!

Which nut butter should I use?

Use an all natural creamy nut butter. I suggest almond butter or cashew butter since they are more mild than peanut butter.

Ingredients

12 muffins

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with liners.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
