These Pumpkin Muffins are juicy, flavorful but still delicate with a crunchy crumble topping. They are easy to make by just adding everything to a blender and then scooping them into muffin tins. They are gluten and sugar free, baked with oat flour, pumpkin puree and sweetened with stevia. The crumble topping is made using oats, oat flour and just a little coconut oil and apple sauce, so that it doesn’t get too heavy.
This is the first time baking with pumpkin for me. Pumpkin is not as hyped in Sweden as it appears to be in many other countries. It also isn’t something that Im loving that much, I think that pumpkin can be too sweet for my taste. But since everyones seams to be loving it I thought I have to give it a try. And I have to say that I was surprised how well and delicious these muffins turned out. I might not be a big fan of pumpkin when comes to cooking, but it definitely does wonders in baking. Since it quite sweet it acts like a natural sweetener, hence you can make baked goods healthier by using less sugar. It also gives these muffins a wonderful juiciness and moist, therefore no extra oil is needed in this recipe. I added cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger to the batter to really get a flavorful muffin that tastes like autumn. But the seasoning can be adapted according to your taste and depending on how much of the pumpkin you want to come through. The topping is optional, but it really gives these muffins an extra lift and blends so well with the juicy muffins.
