Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Muffins:

  • 1.5 cups pumpkin puree (or 1 regular-sized can)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or any other sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or coconut oil or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter (or cashew butter, oat butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Center:

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/5 cup coconut sugar

Streusel Topping:

  • 1/4 cup vegan or regular butter (melted)
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar (or cane sugar, brown sugar, or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend)

Icing:

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with liners, skipping every other one.
  2. In a bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, almond butter, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and oil until fully combined.
  3. Add flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until just combined; avoid overworking the batter.
  4. In a small bowl, mix streusel ingredients and set aside. Mix cinnamon and coconut sugar in another bowl and set aside.
  5. Use a double cookie scoop to add batter to muffin liners. Flatten batter with a spoon, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, add another layer of batter, and top with streusel.
  6. Bake for 23 minutes, then cool before drizzling with powdered sugar icing, if desired.

Notes

  • Fully incorporate wet ingredients before adding dry ingredients.
  • Use a spoon to evenly spread the batter when layering in the liners.
  • Bake muffins in every other cavity for fluffy texture.
