Paleo Pumpkin Muffins Recipe Notes

These tasty pumpkin treats come together super fast and easily. Here are all the deets:

Ingredient Notes

Almond flour. These almond flour pumpkin muffins have the best textural results with fine ground almond flour — my favorite brands are Trader Joe’s and Bob’s Red Mill.

Coconut flour. this low carb flour is significantly drier than almond flour, which helps absorb the moisture from the pumpkin and gives, yielding the perfect texture!

Pumpkin puree. Be sure to grab pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix, that has a lot of added sugar and other ingredients.

Sweetener. The secret to these tasty muffins is a plant-derived sweetener called erythritol — it’s 70% as sweet as sugar, BUT, when you use keto sweeteners such as Swerve or Lakanto it is just as sweet.

Tools To Make

All you need for this recipe are the classics:

• Bowl
• Whisk
• Muffin pan and liners

Storing Tips

Store this scrumptious low carb pumpkin muffins recipe in an airtight container, in the fridge.

I like to warm mine back up by popping them in the toaster oven, OR. by wrapping one in a slightly famp paper towle and tossing it into the microwave. Mmmmmm, just like they were freshly baked!

Can You Freeze Them?

You can absolutely freeze this crumbly and satisfying low carb pumpkin muffins recipe! Just wrap them in a freezer bag or airtight container and store until you’re ready to have a little bite!

Serving Recommendations

How you serve these muffins is up to you, and when you plan to eat them…

• For breakfast with a cup of coffee, sugar free pumpkin spice latte and a few scrambled eggs
• For more substantial low carb snacks, I like to serve these with a couple of cheese sticks.

Lindsey's Tips

Almond Flour. Using fine-grained almond flour will yield the most "flour-like" results. My favorite brands are Bob's Red Mill, Trader Joe's, or Costco brands. 

Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.

Nutritional information is based on 1 muffin, if you make 12 muffins using this recipe. Erythritol adds 1 carb to each muffin, so each muffin has 5g net carbs:
