Pumpkin Pie Muffins

Flourless.

Sugarless.

And they're really really good.

I promise.

I made a dozen this morning, and every last one of them was eaten by myself and my kids.

I wish I'd doubled the batch.


The recipe will seem strange.  And you'll think that I had a typo...no flour??  But I didn't.  Because I never make mistakes.  Hah!  (that's a "hah" like I make a bazillion mistakes a day, not a "hah" like "hah, hah, I never make mistakes"....just had to clarify).  Here it is:


Pumpkin Pie Muffins

1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup raw almond butter
1/2 honey
2 eggs
 1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t cloves
1/2 t salt

Mix wet ingredients.  Add in dry.  Stir.  Pour into greased muffin tin.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Makes approximately 12 muffins.  Best eaten after cooled.  ( I can never wait that long, but they really do taste better after they've sat for a bit)

I'm sure you can tell from the pictures, that they're not the prettiest muffins.  They sort of sink in the middle.  BUT not too bad for no flour and a ton of pumpkin.  And they taste good.

*raw almond butter can be found at Trader Joes.  if you don't have one, try Henrys, Sprouts, Whole Foods, or any other healthfood store)

Those sound yummy. My mom made some pumpkin muffins the other day. I wonder if they're the same ones. I'll have to ask her. Love you!
