Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins
This Recipe Is:

WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

If you don't care for nuts in your pumpkin muffins, use chopped or dried cranberries, raisins, or even chocolate chips.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup
    sorghum flour
  • 1/3 cup
    organic coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup
    almond flour
  • 1/2 cup
    tapioca starch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons
    baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon
    baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon
    sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon
    xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon
    ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon
    ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon
    nutmeg
  • 1 1/3 cups
    organic light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup
    pumpkin puree, or canned organic pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup
    light olive oil
  • eggs or egg replacer
  • 1 tablespoon
    bourbon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon
    lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup
    vanilla almond milk or coconut milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
  3. Add in sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
  4. Now add in almond milk.
  5. Beat the batter to incorporate the ingredients. If it needs a little more liquid, add up to 1/4 cup almond or coconut milk until it is a smooth consistency.
  6. Stir in  pecans or walnuts (or raisins, if you prefer), by hand.
  7. Spoon the batter into twelve muffin cups, filling them close to the top. Smooth the tops using a wet teaspoon. Add a pecan half to each muffin top, if you like.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven until domed and golden. The muffins should feel firm yet springy to a light touch. If a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean- these babies are done. Cool on a wire rack. Remove the muffins from the pan after five minutes, and allow them to continue cooling on a wire rack. This helps keep their bottoms from getting soggy. Wrap and freeze leftover muffins in freezer bags for easy on-the-go treats
