Ingredient Notes
Here’s everything you need for this low carb pumpkin muffins recipe:
Almond flour – When making these almond flour pumpkin muffins, make sure you use a fine or extra-fine ground version. You want to make sure that these muffins stay fluffy and soft. (My favorite brands for this are Trader Joe’s and Bob’s Red Mill!)
Coconut flour – this low carb flour is packed with fiber and protein. Combining it with almond flour gives the best texture for this recipe.
Pumpkin puree – you can make your own at home, but it’s quite a project. I always use canned pumpkin puree for my healthy pumpkin recipes– just be sure to grab pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix, that has a lot of added sugar and other ingredients.
Erythritol – the secret to these tasty muffins is in this plant derived sweetener. It’s just as sweet as sugar but it doesn’t affect blood sugar levels and has zero calories!
Tools To Make
All you need for this recipe are the classics – bowl, whisk, muffin pan.
