Keto Pumpkin Muffins
Easy low carb pumpkin muffins that are incredibly moist and pumpkiny. The batter can even be made in the blender!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy natural almond butter, unsweetened
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup erythritol granular
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup Lily's semisweet chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with liners (you will only need 10 out of the 12).
- Add all ingredients except chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth batter forms. (You can also mix in a blender.) Stir in chocolate chips. If desired, reserve some of the chocolate chips to be sprinkled on top of the batter.
- Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop batter into muffin pan, filling the liners about 3/4 full. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake muffins for about 18-22 minutes. The top of the muffins should puff up and a toothpick inserted should only have a few crumbs clinging. Don't worry if the tops of the muffins sink slightly as they cool. Let muffins cool completely before removing from pan and eating.
Notes
- The tops of the muffins may deflate slightly, this is normal since the muffins don't have flour. The best way to check if muffins are done is by inserting a toothpick.
- I use natural creamy almond butter (the kind that needs to be stirred). While you can use almond butter processed with oils, it will be much thicker and harder to stir.
- You can substitute almond butter with other nut butters. I have not tested this with sunflower butter.
- The chocolate chips are completely optional. They taste great without them too.
- I use Lily's semi-sweet baking chips.* The muffins in the photos use Lily's dark chocolate chips, but I have since modified the recipe because the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips pair better with the pumpkin batter (the dark chocolate is a little too bitter).
- I used So Nourished Erythritol Sweetener Granular.*
