Notes

Expert Tips

  • These keto pumpkin muffins are flourless and use gluten-free ingredients, meaning you don’t have to worry about any gluten sensitivities! 
  • If you prefer nuts over chocolate chips (or like both!), feel free to add chopped pecans or walnuts to this recipe.
  • Pumpkin pie spice is a spice blend made of cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, allspice, and ground ginger. You can find this in most grocery stores in the spice aisle, or make your own! 
  • Make sure to choose dairy-free chocolate chips if you are completely dairy-free. Otherwise, there’s no dairy in this recipe.  

Storage Tips

  • Leftovers: Cool the muffins completely before storing them. Line an airtight container with paper towels and place the muffins on top in a single layer. Seal with an airtight lid. If the paper towels become damp, replace them every few days. These Keto pumpkin muffins will last up to four days stored this way.
  • Freezer: The easiest method is to use zip-lock bags and place muffins in a single layer inside the bag.  You may also wish to wrap the muffins in foil first before placing them in the bag.  Make sure you get as much air out of the bag as possible, and to reduce the chance of freezer burn, place that sealed bag inside another bag and seal that one, too. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and serve!
