- 1 and 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats, blended into oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the pumpkin puree and milk to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 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
- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based milk and dairy-free butter substitute.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
