Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Pressing the canned pumpkin puree between paper towels to blot out excess water before mixing is what keeps these muffins from baking up dense and gummy in the center.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, blotted dry
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup allulose
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with liners.

  2. 2

    Spread the pumpkin puree on paper towels and press with more towel on top to blot out excess water — canned pumpkin holds surprising moisture, and blotting it first is what keeps the muffins from baking up dense and gummy in the center instead of light.

  3. 3

    Whisk blotted pumpkin, eggs, avocado oil, allulose, and vanilla together.

  4. 4

    Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together, then fold into the wet mixture until just combined.

  5. 5

    Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake 19-21 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
