Ingredients
Pumpkin Muffins
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour, or arrowroot powder
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3 tbsp dairy free milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
Streusel Topping
- ⅔ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold butter, or cold coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- Prepare the crumb topping first. Chop butter into small cubes. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. I like to use my hands to break up the butter. Or, use a fork or pastry cutter. Once crumbly, place in fridge.
- Next, add all remaining muffin ingredients and stir until combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, add muffin batter into muffin liners. Next, top each muffin with a tablespoon of crumble topping.
- Bake for 21 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Then, allow to cool 10 minutes in the muffin pan. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
- If desired, drizzle a little melted coconut butter on top!
Notes
- I do not recommend any flour substitutions, other than arrowroot powder for the tapioca flour.
- Use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, replace with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
- The streusel topping is highly recommended, but optional. If desired, mix in walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- If you do not tolerate butter, replace cold coconut oil.
- The streusel topping is meant to be crumbly.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
