- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour for some of the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend if you prefer.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure your gluten-free flour blend is dairy-free and use a plant-based milk if needed for batter consistency.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
