This wholesome pumpkin muffin recipe is the perfect combination of warm and cozy!

My only complaint? They disappear too fast!

These maple pumpkin muffins are the perfect little treats—just sweet enough for an afternoon pick-me-up and nourishing enough for a quick, wholesome breakfast! With a boost of healthy fats, they’ll keep your little ones happily full and energized. And because they’re made with einkorn flour, they’re extra gentle on tiny tummies too! Curious about the magic of baking with einkorn? Read on to learn more about its wonderful benefits here.

tools you may need:

muffin tin - I like stainless steel

parchment muffin holders - I like these (you can butter the tin also)

ingredients:

3 ½ cups organic einkorn flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 can pumpkin puree

1 cup maple syrup

2/3 cups melted coconut oil or organic unsalted butter

4 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole milk or alternative milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ teaspoon cloves

directions:

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line your muffin tin with parchment muffin cups or generously butter each cup to ensure your muffins release easily.

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Give it a quick whisk to ensure all the spices and leavening agents are evenly distributed.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until everything is smooth and well blended.

3. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. A hand mixer can be used if you want an extra-smooth texture, but a good whisk works just as well.

4. Scoop and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Bake for around 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool on a rack for a few minutes before enjoying. They’re delicious warm or at room temperature, and they store well for a few days in an airtight container.
