Five reasons to love pumpkin muffins …

1. These muffins are easy to make with basic & wholesome ingredients. Only one bowl required!
2. They’re gluten, grain & dairy free, yet they’re fluffy, moist and delicious. No one will know the difference.
3. They’re naturally sweetened with maple syrup, rather than loaded with refined sugar or artificial sweeteners.
4. These muffins feature warming pumpkin pie spices so they taste even better with your favorite pumpkin latte. It’s a match made in pumpkin spice heaven!
5. They freeze well and thaw out fast at room temperature or defrost them in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or until gently warmed through. You can also get them a little toasty in the oven or toaster-oven.

Here’s what you need for Pumpkin Muffins:

• Eggs
• Canned pumpkin
• Coconut flour (I like Saisha from Rootalive)
• Coconut oil
• Maple syrup
• Pumpkin pie spice (see my DIY recipe below)
• Vanilla extract
• Baking powder

DIY pumpkin pie spice

INGREDIENTS:
3 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp nutmeg
1 ½ tsp allspice
1 ½ tsp cloves

I recommend buying organic ground spices to make this blend. Mix spices together in a bowl and store in a small glass jar. Feel free to double or triple this recipe so you have plenty of pumpkin pie spice for the season.
