Servings: 24 mini muffins
Calories: 66kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup plain whole milk yogurt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 ¼ cup oat flour (140 grams)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, yogurt, melted butter, and egg.
- Stir in the gluten free flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Portion into the prepared muffin tin using about a heaping 1 tablespoon per mini cup. Preheat the oven to 375℉, and rest the batter while the oven heats. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- What flour to use? This is a recipe that lets you decide what kind of gluten free flour you wish to add to the batter. Any type of gluten free flour will work, although if I am using a single gluten free flour I prefer a whole grain flour such as oat flour or brown rice flour. For the best results, whether you use gluten free all purpose flour or a single gluten free flour, measure out the flour by weight so that it equals 140 grams.
- Try applesauce. If you want to use this base recipe to make mini applesauce muffins, substitute the 1 cup of pumpkin puree for applesauce.
- Rest the batter. Let the batter rest while the oven heats so that the gluten free flour fully hydrates before baking.
- Make full-size muffins. If you want larger muffins, use a regular 12-cup muffin tin.
