Pumpkin Muffins (gluten-free)

21 Comments

These gluten-free pumpkin muffins + a cup of piping hot coffee have been calling my name on repeat the past few mornings.

I consider these pumpkin muffins healthy enough to eat for breakfast and sweet enough to eat for dessert. Although I suppose if you want to make these more breakfast-like, you can sub the chocolate for dried cranberries or leave them out altogether (but don’t do that!). 

My favorite way to eat these chocolate chip pumpkin muffins is by making them feel even more decadent and I do that by warming one up and then topping it with a pat of butter. Melty butter on a hot muffin. Does it get better than that? The perfect breakfast. The perfect snack. Or heck, the perfect dessert.

Just look at this muffin – right out of the oven. Do you see that crumb? And that ooey gooey chocolate? Yes!

I am all about pumpkin lately you guys! Isn’t that so original of me? I made oatmeal pumpkin pancakes the other day and here I am making pumpkin muffins. What can I say other than I love this time of year and all the pumpkin madness that comes with it.

I feel like I’m even more into the holidays this year (didn’t even know that was possible) because Tony’s getting a little older (13 months…) and I want him to experience allll the holiday cheer that comes with this time of year. I am so excited to celebrate Thanksgiving with my baby, especially because he eats like a champ now. I can’t wait to make him a plate filled with turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and the works next week! I think I’ll make these muffins for the family on Thanksgiving morning. I know dinner is always a special event, but I think these muffins would make for a fun and festive breakfast that morning. Plus they can be made a few days in advance.

    I made this recipe before just guessing that the pumpkin can I had was the right size but now I can remember what size I used. It did turn out well, very delicious, l but can you tell the size of the can or use a standard measurement like 1 cup or whatever? I have a partial 32 oz. pumpkin puree can leftover right now. I want to make these again tomorrow!

    Absolutely delicious recipe! I loved it!! I took the muffins to share with my work colleagues, and they were devoured before noon!

    Love these! Today I made another batch and completely forgot to add the eggs! Tasted slightly different, but really wasn’t noticeable and didn’t affect the texture. In case anyone has an egg allergy… They can be left out no problem!

    Thank you for the recipe. My picky toddler (who is about the same as Tony 🙂 loves these “mum-mums” and so do I!

    Delicious. Super quick and easy. What a great idea using oats this way, I think the possibilities are endless. I am already envisioning an apple sauce version. Thank you!

    These muffins were so moist and delicious! I made these in the evening and my husband inhaled three in a row for dessert and couldn’t stop raving about them. Like you mentioned, they are also perfect in the morning with a cup of coffee. Thanks for another great recipe!

    *I didn’t have pumpkin puree on hand so I substituted with canned butternut squash but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

    Absolutely fantastic. I haven’t been able to enjoy my family’s pumpkin bread recipe for five years after developing allergies, but these have all the right flavors and texture. The oats are brilliant – the consistency of the baked muffins are moist and not at all dry or grainy like most gluten free desserts.
