Delicious flourless pumpkin muffins made with almond flour and pumpkin puree, perfect for a light and moist treat. These mini muffins bake quickly and offer a tender texture, ideal for a wholesome snack or breakfast option.

Ingredients

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease a mini muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together almond meal, sugar or sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the pumpkin puree and egg (or flax egg) into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. If using, fold in mini chocolate chips at this stage.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the mini muffin cups. The recipe will make about 12 to 14 mini muffins.
  5. Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins on the center rack of the oven for 10 minutes. For larger muffins, bake for 15 minutes instead.
  6. Cool and Remove: Remove muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each muffin and pop them out gently.

Notes

  • Using mini muffin tins results in a lighter, airier texture compared to regular-sized muffins.
  • You can use flax egg as a vegan substitute for the regular egg.
  • Feel free to double the recipe for a larger batch or make 4 regular-sized muffins instead of mini muffins.
  • Make sure the muffin tin is well greased to avoid sticking issues.
  • Add mini chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture if desired.
