Yield: 36 mini muffins

Ingredients

  1. canola oil cooking spray
  2. 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  4. ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. ½ teaspoon baking powder
  6. ½ teaspoon salt
  7. ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  8. ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  9. ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  10. 1 cup white sugar
  11. ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  12. 4 eggs
  13. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  14. ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  15. ¾ cup coconut oil
  16. ¼ cup sliced almonds
  17. ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, cloves, and allspice together in a bowl. Beat white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until well blended; beat in pumpkin and coconut oil until just combined.
  3. Stir flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until batter is well mixed. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling 1/4-inch from the top; sprinkle with almond slices.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 11 minutes. Cool muffins in the pans for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool muffins for 5 minutes on rack; sift confectioners’ sugar over muffins.
  5. You can also use canola oil in place of coconut oil. If you don’t have ground ginger they’re still quite tasty without.

Great recipe. I just used 1/2 the white sugar and they were great.

They lasted 2 1/2 days in my house, ya they’re pretty good

I only had stone milled whole wheat flour at home which gave a healthy taste to the muffins. perhaps because of that it also took 20 min to bake. I totally omitted white sugar, leaving only 1/4 cup brown sugar and adding a cup of unsweetened peaches that I had in the freeze. It was just the right amount of sweet and VERY moist -i had sprayed my silicone cups. .not necessary. next time I’ll try to add 1/2 cup of oil only. Tastes healthy and delicious! made 12 muffins and two very small loaves

Loved these muffins for breakfast this fall morning! I had only whole almonds so I chopped them up to put on top. I also omitted the sprinkling of powdered sugar at the end. Delicious way to start my day.
