Honey Sweetened Pumpkin Muffin
These Honey-Sweetened Pumpkin Muffins make the perfect fall breakfast or snack! They are easy to make, use basic ingredients, are sugar-free, and taste like fall.
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup +2 tbsp raw honey* melted
- 1/2 cup oil** I use avocado oil
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree homemade or canned
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
- In a small mixing bowl combine dry ingredients, the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Mix and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients, and mix well.
- Add the flour mixture, about 1/4 at a time, and mix until it is well combined. Repeat until all the flour has been added.
- Divide the batter into the muffin cups, each cup should be about 3/4 of the way full.
- Place the tin in the oven and bake for 15-22 min. or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the tin and allow them to cool on a wire rack for 5-10min. Serve warm topped with butter.
Notes
*I like raw honey because it is less processed than regular honey. But you can sub regular honey or even sugar if you like.
**I like to use avocado oil, it has a neutral flavor, is a healthier option, and has a high smoke point
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container or freezer beg for up to 3 days. They can also be stored in the fridge where they should last for up to 1-week.
These muffins do have a slightly spongy texture to them because the honey adds more liquid rather than soaking it up like regular sugar.
But don't worry! This is how they are supposed to be, they still taste great and everyone will still love them!
