Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup TN maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
- Optional: pecan halves for topping
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Top each with a pecan half if desired.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a streusel topping, mix ¼ cup rolled oats, 2 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Crumble on top before baking.
- These freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Warm them in the oven for a few minutes before eating.
- Make sure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling which has added sugars and spices.
