Seriously, what would fall be without these Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins?
Of course, this time of the year, we see a lot of pumpkins just about everywhere.
Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins
I don’t know if I like the taste of these as much as I like the smell of them baking in the oven.
However, I could probably say that about any kind of a bread that I have baking in the oven. Bread that is baking in the oven is just such an amazing smell. Especially, when you add pumpkin and spices to it. This is such a perfect way for you to make your home smell like fall. Don’t you think so?
Something else that I like about these muffins is that they are pretty much ‘all generational’.
What I mean by that is that every generation seems to like these muffins. Seriously, grandma probably likes these as much as grandson sitting in a high chair. I can’t think of many other things that could spread through the generations in such a way.
The ingredients that you will need to bake these muffins are pretty simple.
You will need to use all purpose flour. However, if you are wanting to make this low carb, you can use Carbalose low carb flour instead. Gluten free can use almond flour however, be sure to check your conversions (as you will need more almond flour) and use some kind of a binder in place of the gluten. Xanthan Gum Powder is one popular binder that people baking with almond powder will use.
I feel like I have diverted myself off track here.
However, since I have baked low carb before I can appreciate using flour alternatives. Also, I am now in an experimenting phase with baking with almond flour. I can’t get over how tasty my bread has been turning out with it. Hence, gluten free recipes will be coming here soon.
I do have some helpful articles for you to read.
