Starbucks has released the Pumpkin Spice Latte and I’m releasing this pumpkin muffin recipe! Fall is on the way and you know what that means. All things PUMPKIN. Pumpkin muffins, lattes, bread, ice cream, soups, donuts, and everything in between are on my menu this fall! Like so many others, I am absolutely pumpkin obsessed…there’s just something about that orange, seedy squash that makes it perfect for cooking and baking, scents and even decor. I’ll be soaking up all that pumpkin has to offer for this entire season starting with these easy muffins! I made a healthier version of this fall treat, but all of the ingridients can easily be subbed for whatever you already have in your kitchen. Whip these up for a perfect fall treat!

 

WET INGRIDIENTS:

2 Eggs

1/3 Cup Pumpkin Puree

1 Tsp Vanilla

2 Tbsp. Coconut oil, melted

2 Cups Almond Flour (substitute whatever flour type you want here!)

1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar

1/2 Tsp. Salt

1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda

CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING:

1 Tbsp. Coconut Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Add together and make sure the mix is completly combined. Spray nonstick oil or spray in a muffin tin and scoop batter into each tin.
