Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins Directions 

1. Prep Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cute cupcake liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients. Almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, sea salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir gently to make sure everything is evenly mixed.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, water, and oil and stir until smooth.

4. Combine Wet & Dry

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until mix until smooth. 

5. Bake the Muffins

Spoon the batter into your muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool while we make the frosting.

Pumpkin Spice Frosting Directions 

1. In a small bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.

2. Add powdered sugar, and slowly add 1 tbs at a time of heavy cream, adjusting with pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and chocolate powder. Add them slowly and one at a time and mix. Regularly check consistency and adjust until desired taste and texture is achieved. 

3. Whip until smooth and fluffy perfect for spreading.

Once your muffins are cool, frost them generously. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top for that final cozy touch!

Bonus Tips

• Almond flour can make muffins a bit crumbly. Let them cool completely before frosting.

• Pumpkin puree should be well drained if it’s extra watery.

• These muffins store beautifully in an airtight container for 5 day
