Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 12-cup muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups almond flour
  • 1 cup tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • ½ cup non-dairy/unsweetened milk
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease, or add muffin liners, to a 12-cup muffin pan; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the remaining wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla). Whisk the wet ingredients together, and then fully mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix batter.
  • Using a large spring-loaded cookie scoop (¼ cup size), scoop batter evenly between each well of the muffin tin (using a cookie scoop helps with the round muffin top). If you don't have a cookie scoop, a spoon works fine (you'll use about ¼ cup batter for each muffin).
  • Bake for 24-27 minutes, or until a toothpick entered in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool before removing from the pan. Enjoy!

Notes

 
  • When you measure the almond flour, scoop the almond flour into the measuring cup and level off with a knife. Do not pack the flour, or you will end up with too much.
  • For slightly larger muffins, make 10 muffins. 
  • These are best within 2 days or baking. To extend freshness, store in the fridge.
