Ingredients

• 1 cup Butternut squash (cooked and mashed)
• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid stevia or erythritol (optional, to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, mashed butternut squash, applesauce, liquid stevia (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If desired, gently fold in chopped walnuts.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy! These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
