The search ends here! Impress your fam with my healthy pumpkin muffins made with almond and oat flour that are beyond fluffy (and use a whole can of pumpkin!). They stay moist for days, are high in fiber and protein, and are stupid good. Gluten free, too!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a muffin tin (I like to use paper liners).
Place almond flour (make sure it's packed), oat flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Place pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, oil and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until there are just a couple streaks of flour left. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spoon mixture evenly into muffin tin, filling all the way to the top (they will be very full, don't worry about filling too much). With wet fingertips, gently smooth the tops of the muffins to get rid of the peaks so they look prettier since they won't change shape. Top with additional chocolate chips if you fancy.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in pan for 20 minutes minutes before carefully removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

*Homemade oat flour: If you don’t have store bought, make your own by grinding the old fashioned oats in the blender until it resembles a very fine flour. The finer it is, the fluffier the consistency!

This recipe will not turn out with other flours like all purpose or coconut flour. Like all gluten free flours, almond and oat flour have unique properties and are not 1-to-1 substitutes for other flours.
