Aunt Rocky’s Pumpkin Pie Muffins

Preheat oven to 325°F (150°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners. I recommend parchment liners in a metal muffin pan, or use silicone cups to minimize sticking.

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, flax, oat fiber, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and allspice. Whisk to break up any lumps and blend well.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, cream, vanilla, and pumpkin flavoring until smooth and creamy.

Dump wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stir and mix well until you have a smooth batter (it will be thick). Spoon into muffin cups, dividing as evenly as possible. Top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon chopped pecans.

Bake 35–40 minutes, until tops are just beginning to brown, muffin feels firm in the center, and a toothpick comes out clean when poked down into the middle of he muffin. Turn out onto cooling rack to cool. Store in a covered container on the counter for a couple of days, or in the refrigerator for longer. May be frozen.

Notes:
• I don’t get any commission or kickback for products I use or mention in my recipes. Brand names are included only to more accurately assess nutritional estimates, which are based on exact ingredients I used.
• Nutrition estimates are calculated per serving with My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. If you make any changes to the ingredients, your results may differ. The recipe is stored there and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. I do not include sugar alcohols or liquid sucralose in my nutrition counts, as they are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index.
