Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 29 oz canned pumpkin
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup melted fat (coconut oil, butter, ghee, etc.)
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) to prepare for baking the muffins evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, eggs, melted fat of your choice, raw honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a thick batter forms.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or greased, filling each cup about three-quarters to nearly full for nicely shaped muffins.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the tops spring back lightly to the touch. For mini muffins, reduce baking time to approximately 25 minutes.
- Serve: Allow muffins to cool slightly, then serve topped with ghee, butter, sour cream, or whipped cream as desired for extra richness and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the melted fat with coconut oil, butter, or ghee depending on preference and dietary needs.
- Ensure the pumpkin is well-drained if using fresh pumpkin to avoid soggy batter.
- Mini muffins will bake faster; keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For a sweeter muffin, you can add a bit more honey, but be mindful of the GAPS diet guidelines.
