Pumpkin Spice Muffins : Perfect for an Autumn Low Carb Treat

Pumpkin spice muffins, just right for this time of year, don't you think! This is a very nice recipe suggestion from Elviira at 'Low Carb So Simple'... and like her, I am sure you will find these low carb 'pumpkin spice muffins' are soft, moist and incredibly yummy!


Ingredients
12 medium size muffins
(net carbs 2.2g)
1 1/2 cup = 360 ml almond flour
1 tablespoon (organic) pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup = 160 ml erythritol crystals / sweetener
2/3 cup = 160 ml (organic) pumpkin
4 extra large (organic) eggs

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
2. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, pumpkin pie spice and erythritol and mix well until there are no lumps.
4. Add the pumpkin and eggs and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
5. Scoop the batter into each muffin cup.
6. Bake for some 30–40 minutes, or until a stick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out almost dry.
7. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and cover with a towel.
8. Let the muffins cool under the towel, remove the towel and the muffins from the pan and serve. For a really indulgent treat, frost the muffins with Quick Low-Carb Cream Cheese Frosting - see here
9. Store in an airtight container.

Elviira gives some very useful hints and tips on how to cook these delicious low carb muffins, which you will find here

Presume that the pumpkin is cooked and pureed, preferably solid pack canned {eg Libby's} although it doesn't specify.

HappyK said...

On yes, these are delicious looking.

Hello and many thanks for your comment/question.
This recipe uses home-made cooked and pureed roast pumpkin, you can see how Elviira roasts it here:-

https://www.lowcarbsosimple.com/my-way-to-roast-pumpkin/

Any left over does freeze well for use in other pumpkin recipes.

You could no doubt use ready canned pumpkin, which many may find easier, canned pumpkin puree does tend to be slightly thicker in consistency than home-made.

This time of year brings out so many wonderful pumpkin recipe suggestions:)
Enjoy ...

All the best Jan

These look amazing :-D

Shari Burke said...

Butternut squash could be used in place of pumpkin. Tis is definitely a seasonal recipe--I can picture sitting down with a nice hot cup of chai and one of these lovely muffins on a crisp autumn day--bliss!

Victor S E Moubarak said...

Sounds tasty to me; although we've never eaten pumpkins. Sweet potatoes yes; but not pumpkins.
God bless.
