Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp. apple sauce
- 1 diced apple, leave skin if desired
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup flaxmeal (golden flax meal works great)
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/4 cup of walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin, maple syrup, coconut oil, and applesauce. Add diced apple. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, flaxmeal, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined and there are no obvious lumps. Add nuts. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin (it will be thick). Distrubute until all 12 tins are equally full (about 2/3-3/4 of the tin will be full). Smooth down the tops. Bake for 30-36 or until golden brown and cooked through. The toothpick trick does not work so well, so check doneness by removing one and cutting in half. Cook on a rack . Freeze leftovers if you have any!
