Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until fully incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir using a spatula or wooden spoon just until a batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If using pecans, fold them gently into the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
