Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a standard muffin tin with 12 parchment or silicone baking cups. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir well with a whisk to break up any clumps.

Divide the batter into the 12 baking cups, then bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are firm. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store the muffins in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Notes:
I started with a recipe from Detoxinista and made my own adjustments. I made these and they were good, but I think they needed a little salt, so I will trying adding salt next time. I added a few chocolate chips to half of the muffins and that was a nice little treat, but the chocolate seemed to compete with the spices. As much I we like chocolate, I think the plain ones tasted better. My husband thought some nuts might taste good, so I might add some walnuts next time. I really like the fact that these muffins are gluten free. It is a great way for me to use up some of my frozen puréed pumpkin and coconut flour!
