I ran across this “cupcake” recipe a few weeks ago and finally made them this weekend. I don’t consider them cupcakes because they are great in the morning as a muffin. Enjoy!
Ingredients
-
3 Tbsp of coconut flour
-
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
-
¼ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp baking soda
-
Pinch of salt
-
¾ cup canned pumpkin
-
1/3 cup (1:1 Sugar Equivalent) Sweetener (I’ll tell you what I used below and why)
-
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
-
1 large egg
-
½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F and line 6 muffin cups with parchment liners. I used an oversized muffin tin and lined the bottom with parchment.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, ba pow, ba so, and salt.
-
In a larger bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sweetener, cream, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Whisk in dry ingredients. Batter should be a little thicker than an applesauce consistency. If your batter is too thin, whisk in an additional Tbsp of coconut flour until consistency is reached.
-
Divide batter among the muffin cups. I used the Tbsp measuring spoon to ensure I really made them all close to even.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until puffed. Remove from oven and let them cool in pan for about 10 minutes. The muffins will sink which is ok.
-
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Serve with whipped cream on top!

*The recipe I based this on called for Swerve Brown or Granulated. I don’t have Swerve (haven’t made the plunge to buy yet) and really don’t like using Stevia or Splenda for baking for the after taste so I used pure sugar. Here are the Nutrution Stats for using pure sugar:
