Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour, gluten free (rice flour blend) (222g)
- ½ cup sorghum flour (69g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar (106g)
- ¼ cup olive oil (45ml)
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin (182g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk (240ml)
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup coconut sugar (70g)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, gluten free
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (can reduce to 3 tsp as an option)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir all ingredients together and set aside.
- Then in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, add the coconut sugar, eggs, olive oil, and vanilla extract and beat them together on low speed. Next add in the canned pumpkin and coconut milk and beat together.
- Pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin batter. Beat again on low speed until the batter is nice and smooth. If the batter is really thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more of coconut milk. (Some all-purpose flours are denser than others)
- Next, make the crumble topping. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add in the melted butter and mix until the butter is well dispersed and starts to form small clumps. Set aside.
- Pour the muffin batter into the paper muffin cups and then evenly top each one with the streusel. (crumble topping) The batter makes enough for 16 average sized muffins or 12 large muffins. (as pictured)
- Finally, bake the muffins on the middle oven rack for 20-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few sticky crumbs. (for 12 large muffins, bake for 25 minutes)
