From the Sugar Happy Kitchen: Vegan Low Carb Pumpkin Walnut Muffins

Every Fall and Winter when I see pumpkins, it conjures up many sentimental memories, from taking my children to our local pumpkin patch to hay rides around the field.

Muffins are one of my favorite morning meals, served with espresso, foamed oat, and coconut milk. 

 

Pumpkins are versatile squash full of nutrients that can be made into a soup, dessert, or muffins.

This muffins recipe delivers a fluffy and moist treat. Before baking the muffins, taste the batter first to see if you would like it to be a bit sweeter. 

 

 

Ingredients

1 cup of coconut flour

1/2 cup of Swerve brown sugar

 2 teaspoons of baking powder 

2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice

1 teaspoon of cinnamon spice

8 Tablespoons of  Red Mill Egg Replacer

3/4 cup of walnuts 

1 1/2 a cup of unsweetened pumpkin purée
