Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder GAPS: Omit, the eggs will provide leavening
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- dash nutmeg just a little
- 1/2 teaspoon monkfruit sweetener or the equivalent of 1/3 cup sugar - GAPS use 1/3 cup honey, decreasing the almond milk if the batter gets too runny
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup cranberries
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375* F and, if using, put muffin liners in the muffin pan . Spray with avocado oil cooking spray, or melt a little butter or coconut oil into each liner to grease.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or whisk to combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder if using, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and monkfruit sweetener if using. Make sure all clumps of coconut flour are mixed up and the mixture is well combined.
-
In the same bowl, add the pumpkin puree, almond milk, melted butter, and 3 eggs. Stir to combine gently, making sure there are no dry pockets. Fold in cranberries.
-
Spoon into muffin cups, filling nearly full and smoothing out the top of the muffins gently to prevent peaks from burning. Bake for 25 minutes, checking for doneness (a toothpick inserted in a large center muffin should come out clean). Allow to cool slightly in the pan, then remove.
-
Top with butter if desired. These muffins are best warm, so reheating in a toaster oven the next day is recommended.
