Ingredients

  • ¾ cup pumpkin 180g, puree
  • 4 egg large, room temperature
  • ½ cup plus 1 tbsp coconut flour 75g
  • ⅓ cup butter unsalted, melted, 80g
  • ¼ cup granulated sweetener 50g
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup hazelnut optional, 40g, chopped, roasted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (electric) or 160C / 320F fan. 
  2. In a food processor or in a bowl with a hand-held electric blender, mix your pumpkin and eggs until smooth. 
  3. Add the all other ingredients except the hazelnuts and blend until smooth. 
  4. Last, add the hazelnuts, if using, and blend briefly. The hazelnuts are optional and not essential for the recipe, but add a lovely crunch.
  5. Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the moisture. Then scoop into a muffin pan lined with paper cups and sprinkle with hazelnuts. 
  6. Bake around 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a knife inserted comes out clean. 

Notes

  • Muffins have about 7g net carbs each without hazelnuts; 3.1g net carbs added with hazelnuts.
  • Fill muffin cups to the top as muffins do not rise much during baking.
  • Serve muffins plain or with whipped cream or sour cream to complement their texture.
  • Use cafe-style paper cups for better muffin shape and appearance.
  • Homemade pumpkin puree can be used if canned is unavailable, see linked instructions.
