Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins

If you don't care for nuts in your pumpkin muffins, use chopped or dried cranberries, raisins, or even chocolate chips.
-
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
-
2
eggs or egg replacer
-
1 tablespoon
bourbon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon
lemon juice
-
1/2 cup
vanilla almond milk or coconut milk
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
- Add in sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
- Now add in almond milk.
- 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.
- Stir in pecans or walnuts (or raisins, if you prefer), by hand.
- 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.
- 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
