Paleo Pumpkin Spice + Turmeric Muffins

From Alle Weil, POPSUGAR Fitness

Notes

  • Optional additions: roasted pumpkin seeds, dried candied ginger, dried cranberries
  • Once ingredients are mixed, bake immediately. Baking soda and apple cider vinegar lose their rising abilities the longer they sit.
  • Use organic ingredients whenever possible

Ingredients

  1. Dry ingredients:
    4 cups fine almond flour or TigerNut flour
    2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
    2 tablespoons ground turmeric
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon allspice
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon clove
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
    Pinch of sea salt
  1. Wet ingredients:
    1 1/2 cups almond, coconut, or hemp milk
    1 can organic pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix), or 15 ounces pureed pumpkin
    1/4 cup maple syrup, coconut nectar, or honey
    1 tablespoon coconut oil or ghee
    1 tablespoon almond extract
    1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. Oil cupcake tin with coconut oil or ghee, or line tin with cupcake liners.
  3. Mix together dry ingredients.
  4. Add wet ingredients, saving apple cider vinegar to add last, and combine well. Do not over mix; this will help to create fluffier muffins.
  5. Pour immediately into muffin tins and bake.
  6. Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Test by seeing if a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Serve warm with ghee or sprinkle with coconut sugar.
