Method
- Preheat the Oven: Warning: stage your oven at 350°F/175°C. Fill a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a big bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
- Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually stir in dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add Extras (Optional): Stir in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts, if using.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter equally into the muffin liners, about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool about 5-10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Room-temperature eggs for a better texture.
- Check to be sure your pumpkin puree is 100% pure without any added sugar.
- Be careful not to over-mix the batter and end up with dense muffins.
- To make these extra decadent, spoon a tablespoon of cream cheese into the middle of each muffin before baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
