Happy Saturday Friends!
Soooooo I did a thing this weekend and I am so excited to share it with you…I made these incredibly delicious Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins and they are officially a fan favorite over here! I know you might be thinking that making pumpkin muffins might be a little premature, since it is not quite Fall just yet, but I honestly can’t resist waiting any longer. I guess you could say I am one of those people who loves an excuse to make all things pumpkin, well I am a Halloween baby after all, so that is my excuse! I think you will really love this recipe!
The ingredients you will need to make these muffins are:
- organic oat flour
- baking powder(aluminum free)
- Himalayan salt
- pumpkin pie spice
- ground nutmeg
- organic pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- coconut sugar
- refined coconut oil
- pasture-raised egg
- vanilla extract
- cashew milk (or dairy free milk of choice)
- grass-fed butter, melted
- cinnamon
You will also need:
Recipe Notes:
*If you do not have oat flour, you can blend organic rolled oats into flour, using a high speed blender.
*If you do not have coconut oil, you can swap this for avocado oil or grass-fed butter.
*I have not tried this recipe using a flax egg, but you should be able to use it in place of the pasture-raised egg. (1 tbsp flax with 2.5 tsp water, let sit 10 minutes)
*If you wanted to omit the cinnamon-sugar topping you absolutely can and they will still taste delicious.
I can not wait for you to make these muffins! I think you will absolutely love them! When you do, be sure to comment below or tag me on instagram at www.instagram.com/healthymommamanda
