Coconut Flour Pumpkin Muffins
Although I occasionally love making complex, intricate creations in the kitchen, I usually crave simple and satisfying recipes. When creating recipes, I often challenge myself to dirty as few bowls and utensils as possible!
You’ll only need one bowl, one spatula, and a few measuring cups for these coconut flour pumpkin muffins… that means you can whip them up at a moments notice without leaving behind a train wreck in the kitchen. Can you say perfect Thanksgiving or Christmas breakfast?
Feel free to use squash puree, mashed banana or probably even applesauce in place of the pumpkin. In the same way, you can change up the spices, add vanilla extract or use maple syrup instead of honey (if you aren’t on SCD or GAPS). Take advantage of what is in your fridge or pantry to personalize the recipe.
These coconut flour pumpkin muffins boast a moist, light texture… avoiding the dry and crumbly demise of many coconut flour baked goods.

Can white vinegar be used in place of apple cider vinegar???
These were very good! I’ve tried other coconut flour recipes that came out soggy but these didn’t- baked up just like a flour muffin 😊
Lovely recipe. I would add some unrefined salt to bring out the flavors of the wonderful ingredients.
What function does the apple cider vinegar perform?
Combined with the baking soda, it provides a leavening effect. That combination is a grain-free alternative to baking powder, which contains corn starch.
I packed my coconut flour, so maybe user error as mine are crumbly, but we also found they were a bit bland. A touch of salt or maybe a tiny bit sweeter may have helped. Love the ingredients and simplicity, but probably won’t make again.
Hi I enjoy your website and check it often. I am on a restricted diet due to many food intolerances I have. Currently I am on the Paleo diet and am nut free and seed free . I can use bananas , avocadoes , squashes and carrots, cocoa powder. and minimal coconut flour . this is my list of foods I tolerate. Any way to make a cracker or flatbread using these ingredients ? It doesn’t have to be an amazing recipe just something that holds together and can be eaten like a cracker or wrap…. Taste isn’t the deciding factor. Open to a dehydrator or oven recipe using those ingredients mentioned. I’d love to hear your thoughts!!
