Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 1/2 cups coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, honey, coconut oil, and eggs.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips for Success

  • For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup to the batter.
  • If you don’t have coconut flour, you can use almond flour or a blend of almond and coconut flours.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze the muffins, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep for up to 3 months.

Step 7: Baking the Delights

Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tantalizing aroma of fall spices and sweet pumpkin will fill your kitchen, creating a cozy ambiance.

Tips for a Triumphant Treat

– For muffin enthusiasts who prefer a touch of extra sweetness, consider adding an additional 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to the batter. This will elevate the muffins’ flavor profile, making them irresistible to those with a sweet tooth.

– If coconut flour is not readily available in your kitchen pantry, feel free to experiment with almond flour or a harmonious blend of almond and coconut flours. These alternatives will still yield delectable muffins that capture the essence of fall.

– These freshly baked muffins are best enjoyed within 3 days when stored at room temperature in an airtight container. However, if you desire a longer shelf life, refrigeration for up to 5 days is a viable option.

– For those who wish to savor the flavors of fall beyond the season, freezing these muffins is a brilliant solution. Individually wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then gather them in a freezer-safe container. They will retain their delectable taste for up to 3 months, allowing you to indulge in the cozy flavors of autumn whenever the craving strikes.
