These Paleo Pumpkin Muffins are so easy to make and incredibly delicious! Gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free- they make a great snack or dessert.
It’s September and I am so ready for fall! We had a very hot summer here in Michigan and I’m looking forward to cooler temps and all things pumpkin and apple! I just couldn't wait any longer to break out the pumpkin and these muffins did not disappoint! They are kind of a cross between a muffin and pie- not quite as dense as pie, but not quite as fluffy as a traditional muffin. They are absolutely perfect and I couldn't quit eating them!
My Paleo Pumpkin Coffee Cake is so good and everyone that tries it loves it (just read those comments!), but sometimes you need a pumpkin treat that is quicker. This are made and ready to eat in 30 minutes- yay!
They are so easy to make. Everything is mixed in one bowl, by hand, and they are in the oven in under 10 minutes. The smell that fills your house while they're baking is another reminder why I love fall so much! The cozy, comforting aroma of fresh baked goods is the best! Once they’re baked they are best stored in the fridge after 24 hours. Paleo baked treats tend to not last as long at room temperature- eat them cold or warm them up for a few seconds. Both ways are so good!
These muffins are tender, just the right sweetness, and perfectly spiced. If you love pumpkin pie then you will love these muffins! All the flavor, but easier to make and hand-held!

Paleo Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dairy free mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a muffin tin with liners. I prefer parchment so the muffin removes easily.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt. Stir and break up any large clumps.
- Add in the pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir well until completely mixed and no dry spots remain. Fold in the chocolate chips if desired.
- Scoop into muffin tin, making sure each one is as even as possible. Bake for 20-23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Store in the fridge if not eaten within a day.

Thanks for making them!

Made these today and turned out amazing! I added 1 scoop hemp protein powder and increased baking time to 5 minutes and they turned out amazing.
Are the nutrition facts for 1 muffin or 2?
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for making them! It's per muffin 🙂

Are these...wet? The photos look like the muffins are wet. You know how some paleo and healthier-alternative recipes are wet instead of baked-goods moist? (There's a well known chocolate desert blog that has lots of recipes that come out wet. I think it's to do with liquid sweeteners and lack of grain flour to soak up the liquid? Maybe?) Anyway, they sound yummy, and I know not all paleo baking recipes are wet, but many are, so I'm just wondering what texture to expect!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Elizabeth- great question! These are definitely moist and the longer they sit (as any paleo baked good) the more moist they get, but I wouldn't consider them wet. I do have a couple other pumpkin recipes, my pop tarts and my blondies that have a more baked texture and my most popular pumpkin recipe is my coffee cake with so many people loving that. I hope that helps and you find success.

I’ve made these three times in two weeks! They are super delicious. This time I left out the chocolate chips and they still taste amazing!
Shaina says
Omg, I’ve been making these muffins for a while but I just get so busy that I usually forget taking a picture of even commenting on how fabulous these are. Today I made them without the chocolate chips just because I’m watching my calories but they are still to yummy 😋
