Keto Pumpkin Muffins Coconut Flour

They’re made with coconut flour and are super easy to make - it’s the perfect recipe to make with your kids! These muffins are so fluffy and delicious. They are made with a simple list of ingredients: coconut flour, eggs, pureed pumpkin, and spices. I like to have two of these muffins for breakfast with my coffee ☕. It’s a great keto breakfast that keeps me full for several hours. They keep well in the fridge and they also freeze well, so I often make a double batch to ensure I have tasty leftovers.

Ingredients

You’ll only need a few ingredients to make these keto pumpkin muffins. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, this one included. Pumpkin puree: Make sure you use pure pumpkin puree and not sweetened pumpkin pie filling. Unsalted butter: I love baking with creamy European butter, but any unsalted butter will do. Sweetener: I use stevia. You can probably replace it with a granulated sweetener, although I haven’t actually tried that. Vanilla extract: Try to use the real thing - pure vanilla extract - and not the artificially flavored stuff. Ground cinnamon: Make sure it’s fresh. We use quite a bit of it here. Coconut flour: Try to measure it by weight and not by volume. This excellent flour substitute is extremely absorbent, so every extra gram can make a difference. Baking powder: It’s always a good idea to make sure it’s fresh.

Instructions

Making these keto pumpkin muffins is so easy! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps: Simply whisk together all the ingredients in one bowl, adding the coconut flour and baking powder last. Transfer the mixture to foil-lined muffin cups and bake the muffins for about 25 minutes at 350°F. Cool the muffins completely before enjoying them. They truly are better at room temperature.

Expert tip

I prefer to use foil liners when baking with coconut flour. It’s been my experience that coconut flour muffins tend to stick to paper liners, and even to silicone liners. But if you use greased foil liners, they don’t stick.

Storing leftovers

Once completely cool, store these muffins in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Remove them from the fridge an hour before you plan on eating them. Alternatively, warm them up just a little in the microwave on 50% power, 10 seconds per muffin. These muffins also freeze well. Place them in freezer bags and freeze them for up to three months.
