  1. Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun Muffins
    Ingredients
    • 1 cup (96 g) almond flour
    • 1/4 cup (26 g) coconut flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 4 eggs
    • 1/2 cup (160 g) maple syrup or honey
    • 1/2 cup coconut milk (or other milk)
    • 1/2 cup (120 g) pumpkin purée
    Cinnamon Topping Ingredients
    • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or use ghee or coconut oil)
    • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional; or other nut) I used pecans
    Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well-blended.
    Method
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C, or gas mark 4).
    2. Prepare a baking pan with muffin liners.
    3. Combine the flours, baking soda, salt, and spices and blend well.
    4. Add the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, and honey to the dry mixture and blend well by hand, or use a mixer or food processor. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.
    5. Fill muffin liners about 1/3 of the way with batter.
    6. Spoon about a tablespoon of topping over each muffin and then top off each muffin with more batter, to about 3/4 of the way filled.
    7. Drizzle the remaining topping over each muffin and use a toothpick, fork, or spoon to blend the topping into the batter.
    8. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
    9. Cool and enjoy! Store for a few days at room temperature (covered), seal and store in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or seal and freeze for a few months.
