These gluten-free pumpkin muffins are the best I’ve ever had – gluten-free or not! They have the perfect texture and can easily be made dairy-free, or gluten-friendly.

Ingredients

For the batter:

  • 2 cups (268 grams) Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-free Baking Flour see notes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice see notes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs 50 grams each out of shell, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar or more coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup (177 ml) oil see notes
  • 15 ounces (425 grams) canned pumpkin puree

For the streusel:

  • 1/2 cup (69 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour see notes
  • 7 tablespoons (88 grams) brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (47 grams) coconut oil melted
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two muffin pans with 20 paper or silicone liners. I used the parchment paper kind and they came out very easily.
  • Prepare the streusel. Mix the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
    1/2 cup (69 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, 7 tablespoons (88 grams) brown sugar, 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (47 grams) coconut oil, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Prepare the batter. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour through salt).
    2 cups (268 grams) Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-free Baking Flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • In another large bowl, mix together the eggs, and then add the rest of the ingredients (sugars through pumpkin puree). Stir until combined.
    2 large eggs, 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup, 3/4 cup (177 ml) oil, 15 ounces (425 grams) canned pumpkin puree
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix just until combined (do not over mix!).
  • Divide between the liners.
  • Top each with 1 tablespoon (20 grams) streusel.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the side comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then very carefully remove them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. If you made them with olive oil, they may taste olive oily while still warm.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or refrigerate for 5-6 days or freeze for a few months. Note that if you use coconut oil, they get quite firm in the fridge. Just a few seconds in the microwave turns them fluffy again!

Notes

  • For a non-GF version, you can use 2 cups (250 grams) of whole wheat or white whole wheat flour for the batter; use 1/2 cup (62 grams) of whole wheat or white whole wheat flour for the streusel.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can use:
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • You can use olive oil; or refined coconut oil that's melted and still warm; or any other oil that you like.
