Add in the chocolate chips, but be sure you don’t over mix!! This releases the oils in the almond flour and results in a dense muffin.

Place in your prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F. Keep in mind that the dough will not be very wet, but they will still turn out moist- trust me!

I LOVE my silicone muffin tin. Its so easy to clean and I’m not spending hours scrubbing all the black spots off my muffin tin. Check out this one here if you want to make your life more simple too!

They may look crumbly on top because of the almond flour, but they are very moist inside from the pumpkin and honey.

Almond flour also tends to burn at high heat so be careful and keep an eye on the muffins within the 20-25 minutes. Typically, you want to see the edges start to turn a golden brown color.

These pumpkin muffins are a mix between a brownie and a muffin with a little bit of coconuty flavor to pull it all together. Moist, but surprisingly still light. The real chocolate chunks (or chips) also makes it pretty darn yummy. (Hellloooo chocolate fans!)

All made with wholesome ingredients, you don’t have to feel guilty eating one… or two… OKAY, maybe I just had two while writing this post. I couldn’t help it!

Be sure to start with a super-fine almond flour like this one. They type of almond flour used can dramatically affect the outcome of the muffins as some have different weights and more fiber. The super-fine almond flour from Costco is also a great option – it’s what I use!

First, pull together all the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Next, make a well with the dry ingredients (or push the dry ingredients to the sides of the bowl). Pour the wet ingredients into the center.

Blend together the wet ingredients, then mix it all together with the dry. Be careful not to over mix though!! Over mixing almond flour can release the oils. This will result in muffins that are more dense, wet and oily.

Bake until you see the tops start to form and create creases. Also try placing a toothpick into the middle. The muffins will be done if there are just a few crumbs left on the toothpick. Allow to cool, then store in the fridge for 5-7 days.

I hope you enjoy! It took me a few times of trial and error to make a good almond flour muffin recipe, but it was so worth it.

Now we have pumpkin muffins eat to for dayysss, did I mention they can easily be placed in the freezer and heated back up in the microwave whenever you want? Yup. That way you’ll always have a morning muffin on hand (especially when you’re running out the door in the mornings like me lately!)

  2. Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl (almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice). Mix well.

  5. After mixing (about 10 stir, or until just combined), then fill each muffin tin 3/4 or to top.
  6. Bake for 22-28 minutes or until the tops are cracked and no longer appear wet. You may also test the moisture by placing in a toothpick.
