- 1 1/2 cups almond meal
- 3/4 cup canned organic pumpkin
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or fresh if you desire)
- 1/2 cup pecans
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the dry ingredients, then add the vanilla, eggs. Add the pumkin and then mix/fold in the nuts and cranberries. The batter will be a little wet, but that’s ok…it makes the muffins super moist. Place batter in cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let them cool a little and enjoy!
I also did some adaptation and instead of pumpkin used very ripe bananas, fresh raspberries, and walnuts. Sub cinammon for pumpkin pie spice and you are all set.
