Description
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins with Almond Butter are moist, flourless muffins that blend creamy almond butter with pumpkin and chocolate chips for a fall-inspired treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond butter, canned pumpkin, eggs, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Gluten-free and flourless due to almond butter and almond flour.
- Naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup; you can adjust sweetness to taste.
- These muffins are best consumed the day they’re baked, but refrigerating them keeps them fresh for up to 3 days.
- To turn extra pumpkin pie filling into muffins, reduce the added sweetener and spices to taste and bake as directed.
- They freeze well; wrap individually and store up to 2–3 months.
