Ingredients:
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups fat-free milk, unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
- Maple syrup, for serving (I use sugar-free)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-count non-stick muffin tin generously with baking spray.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, monk fruit sweetener (or sugar), pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and oil.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don't overmix.
- Bake: Fill muffin tins to the top with batter. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm with maple syrup.
Optional additions:
- For extra flavor: Add chopped nuts, cinnamon, or nutmeg to the batter.
- For a richer texture: Use a combination of butter and oil.
- For a spicier kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pumpkin spice mix.
