Whole30 Pumpkin Muffins
Whole30 Pumpkin Muffins combine halved dates, canned pumpkin puree, coconut oil, and eggs with almond and coconut flours, pumpkin pie spice, and leaveners to create a moist, naturally sweet muffin. These grain-free, nutrient-rich muffins feature a soft crumb with subtle warm spices characteristic of pumpkin desserts, topped optionally with chopped pecans for texture. They offer a wholesome, satisfying baked treat aligned with Whole30 dietary guidelines.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates halved (156 grams, Deglet Noor
- 6 tablespoons pumpkin puree canned
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted, plus extra for greasing pan
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup almond flour (100 grams)
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour packed (33 grams
- 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pecans optional for topping, chopped
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin pan with coconut oil.
- Place the dates in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, until soft. Add them into a large food processor with the pumpkin purée, coconut oil, and egg, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. The dates won't totally break down, and that's okay!
- Add the rest of the ingredients (except the optional chopped pecans) and process until blended.
- Spoon into 6 muffin cavities (I use an ice cream scoop for rounded tops) and cover with pecans, if desired. Bake for 5 mins. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake another 12 to 16 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan and then enjoy!
