Description

Pumpkin muffins modified from another recipe I found so it is gluten free and pretty clean in terms of diet.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup agave nectar, or more to taste
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch pumpkin pie spice, or to taste
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. 2. Whisk pumpkin puree, coconut flour, coconut oil, agave nectar, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl until batter is smooth; fold in walnuts. Spoon about 3 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup.
  3. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes.
