Ingredients Healthy Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Muffins

Here’s the pantry lineup I reach for when I craft Healthy Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Muffins. Each ingredient is chosen for flavor and texture, with a respect for your schedule.

  • – Almond flour: I rely on almond flour as the base for structure and a moist crumb. If you need a nut-free option, try tigernut flour as a substitute.
  • – Coconut flour: Coconut flour adds fiber and helps absorb moisture. Remember, a little goes a long way, or the muffins can turn dry.
  • – Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener: Keeps sweetness sugar-free. Adjust to your taste and sweetness goals.
  • – Baking powder and baking soda: Leavening for rise. They work together for a light, tender crumb.
  • – Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves: Classic pumpkin spice warmth. Use to taste, then tailor to your spice lovers at home.
  • – Salt: Balances flavors and enhances pumpkin notes. A pinch does wonders.
  • – Pumpkin puree: The pumpkin-forward center (unsweetened). Choose pure puree, not pie filling, for best texture.
  • – Eggs: Provide structure and moisture. Room temperature helps them blend smoothly.
  • – Unsweetened almond milk: Thin liquid to bind. You can swap for a dairy-free milk if needed.
  • – Coconut oil or melted butter: Fat for richness and tenderness. Use coconut oil for dairy-free options.
  • – Vanilla extract: Depth of flavor. A high-quality extract makes a noticeable difference.
  • – Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped walnuts for texture and indulgence. Chocolate adds decadence; walnuts add crunch and nutty notes.
