Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners (or grease).
  2. Dry mix: In a medium bowl whisk almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—break up any flour clumps.
  3. Wet mix: In a large bowl whisk eggs until frothy (~30 seconds). Whisk in pumpkin, sweetener, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine: Stir dry into wet just until combined (do not overmix). Fold in nuts, if using.
  5. Fill: Divide batter among cups (about 3/4 full). Sprinkle a few extra nuts on top if desired.
  6. Bake: 22–25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are lightly golden.
  7. Cool: Rest 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
