These Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins are moist, pumpkin-packed muffins. Every bite is a burst of autumnal flavor, thanks to the irresistible combination of warm pumpkin spice and a buttery, cinnamon-pecan streusel. Topped off with a drizzle of sweet maple icing, these muffins are pure comfort food perfection.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Set aside.
In a large bowl add your dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Now add your wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated. The consistency will resemble cake batter.
Evenly distribute batter among the 12-cup muffin tins. This recipes yields 12 muffins filled just below the liner.
Sprinkle streusel topping over top of muffins (see recipe below). Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes. Streusel topping should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Once muffins are out of the oven and have cooled, drizzle with maple glaze (see recipe below)
Streusel Topping
Combine chopped pecans, coconut sugar, almond flour, cinnamon and slightly chilled butter or ghee. Start with 2 tbsp butter/ghee and use a fork to combine together until crumbly. If mixture is too dry, add another tbsp butter/ghee.
Maple Glaze
In a cup or bowl add your coconut butter and maple syrup. Heat in microwave for 15-20 seconds until just bubbling. Use a spoon to mix together, which will form a paste like consistency. Add coconut milk 1tbsp at a time to thin out until desired consistency.
Drizzle over muffins with a spoon or use piping bag.
