Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups Flour (see post above for low carb or gluten free alternatives)
  • 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 3 cups Sugar Alternative equivalent to sugar (choose a heat-stable variety)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) Canned Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix, check sugar content)
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil (or other neutral oil)
  • ½ cup Almond Milk (or other liquid such as water or juice, check for added sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat while you prepare the batter, ensuring it reaches the correct temperature for baking.
  2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Line your muffin pan for nonstick purposes. The author prefers using parchment paper stuffed into each muffin cup to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, baking soda, sugar alternative, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry ingredients and set aside.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the canned pumpkin until smooth, then add the eggs and mix well to combine all wet ingredients uniformly.
  5. Blend Batter: Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, blending until just combined. Then add the vegetable oil and almond milk, mixing well but without overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 38 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean when they are fully baked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing from the pan and serving. This helps them set and enhances flavor.
