Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups super-fine blanched Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Coconut Flour
- ½ cup Granulated Keto Sweetener (erythritol/monk fruit blend)
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend (or 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp cloves)
- ½ tsp Fine Sea Salt
- ½ cup Pumpkin Puree (100%, not pie filling)
- ½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In the largest mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps and set aside.
- In the second bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, room temperature eggs, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until completely smooth and homogenous.
- Gently pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the batter together until just combined. Stop mixing immediately once the dry streaks disappear to prevent dense muffins.
- Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. This essential step allows the coconut flour time to absorb the liquid.
- Use an ice cream scoop to distribute the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin liners, filling them about ¾ full.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a clean skewer or toothpick into the centre; it should come out clean. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 5 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
