These healthy pumpkin muffins are lightened up with less oil and sugar but are every bit as moist and fluffy as you'd expect!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups oat flour (gluten free, if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (15 oz can)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (any milk works)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons oat flour
  • 3 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin and fill each one with muffin liners.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice and set aside. In a mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients and cream together until smooth.

  3. 3

    Gently fold through the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Distribute the batter evenly amongst the muffin tin.

  4. 4

    Make the crumb topping by mixing together the oat flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil. Sprinkle over the top of each muffin.

  5. 5

    Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

  6. 6

    Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
