Paleo Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by mixing almond flour with baking soda, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, creating a fragrant dry ingredient base. Wet ingredients including eggs, coconut sugar, canned pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract are whisked separately before folding into the dry mix. The batter is divided evenly into muffin cups lined with parchment paper.
The muffins bake at 350 degrees until set and golden, with pumpkin seeds added as a topping if desired for a nutty crunch. The combination of almond flour and pumpkin gives the muffins a moist texture and a mild sweetness balanced by warm spices like cinnamon and pumpkin spice. Baking time is lengthy to ensure proper cooking of the dense batter.
These muffins work well as a seasonal breakfast or snack, bringing pumpkin flavor in a grain-free form. They pair nicely with coffee or tea and can be allowed to come to room temperature before serving for best texture.
