Can I make this gluten free pumpkin muffin recipe nut-free?

This recipe does call for almond flour. If you prefer to skip the nut flour, substitute 1/4 additional gluten free flour blend instead of the almond flour.

Pumpkin Puree

First, let’s talk about pumpkin puree. I used canned organic pumpkin to make this muffin recipe. You can also use a non-organic pumpkin puree, but make sure it doesn’t have pumpkin spice in it. It is very easy to make your own pumpkin puree.

How to Roast a Pumpkin:

1. Cut a pumpkin in half.
2. Scoop out the seeds and brush olive oil on the pumpkin flesh.
3. Roast the pumpkin skin side down in a baking pan for 40 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.
4. To make your puree, you will want to scoop out the cooked pumpkin and add it to a blender. Add a little water so that your puree is very smooth. If the pumpkin puree is too thick, it will prevent these muffins from getting light and fluffy.

Ingredients you need to make these light and fluffy pumpkin muffins:

• pumpkin puree
• gluten free flour
• almond flour
• baking powder, soda, and salt
• cinnamon
• brown sugar or coconut sugar
• cinnamon
• chocolate chips
• eggs
• vanilla
• coconut oil

How to make these easy gluten free pumpkin muffins:

Whisk together your wet ingredients.

Muffin Batter Mixing Tip:

Add the pumpkin and yogurt mixture together and stir slowly and gently. The secret to fluffy muffins is to NOT over-mix the batter. You can read even more great tips about muffins. Who knew that making muffins was a science?

This photo shows you the batter consistency you want for this muffin recipe.

Fun Mix-Ins and Substitutions:

I love varying the mix-ins in this recipe. Feel free to try some of these ideas:

• White chocolate chips
• Caramel bits
• Pecans or walnuts

Tools You Need To Make This Simple Pumpkin Muffin Recipe:

1. Mixing bowls. The secret to light and fluffy muffins is to “just” mix the batter enough. If you over-mix, they will be denser. These rubber bottom mixing bowls don’t slide around so you can mix easier.
2. Muffin pan. This is how you get those super cute muffin shapes :-).
