Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Monk Fruit Sweetener, baking powder, pumpkin pie seasoning, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until well combined, excluding the chocolate chips.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, pumpkin puree, and eggs until smooth and fully blended.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in ¼-cup increments using a rubber spatula to avoid overmixing, ensuring the batter remains light.
- Mix the batter: Use a handheld or stand mixer on medium to high speed to fully combine all ingredients until the batter is smooth.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips with the spatula to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill the liners: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full to allow space for rising.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool the muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven, transfer the pan to a cooling rack, and allow them to cool inside the pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Store leftovers: If you have leftovers, store the muffins in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to 4 days.
