Pumpkin Almond Raisin Muffins


These muffins are just an alternate spin on the pumpkin apple muffins made the same night.  The picture above actually show 1 of each muffin (apple on the left, raisin on the right)

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 c. eggs/egg whites/egg beaters or 2 eggs
  • 3/4 c. pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 c. honey OR 1/2 c. truvia sweetener
  • 4 Tbsp butter OR 1/4 c. applesauce
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  •  1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 1/2 c. almond flour
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 2 Tbs flax (optional)
  • 1/4 c. raisins, golden or regular
  • 1/4 c. dried cranberries, such as craisins
  • 1/4 c. slivered almonds

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 325F and add liners to 12 muffin cups

2) In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients through the ginger (do not add flour, chia, flax, & apples)

3) After the pumpkin puree is mixed through and smelling of fall spices, add in the flour, raisins, & almonds. Also add in chia and flax if you decided to add that in too.

4) Put about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the mix in each muffin tin (as seen below)


5) Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top.   The ones below are about what they should look like when they're all done.
