- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if you have celiac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity.
- For a dairy-free option, use non-dairy butter and milk.
- You can substitute other spices like ginger or allspice for a different flavor profile.
