Paleo and healthy simple pumpkin muffins one bowl and 7 ingredients.

One bowl Paleo Pumpkin Muffins have a soft crumb, crunchy coconut sugar topping, and are bursting with pumpkin spice. And these grain free muffins are naturally sweetened with honey.

Oh how I could sing the merits of these Simple Paleo Pumpkin Muffins all day long!

They are ridiculously soft and tender, have just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor (which is like, A LOT, but not too much at the same time), enough real-deal pumpkin puree to keep them moist, and are naturally sweetened with honey.

The tops are crunchy thanks to a sprinkling of coconut sugar before they head into the oven. A perfect compliment to the fluffy springy muffins.

Reasons to love these muffins:

  • Paleo & gluten free with near PERFECT texture.
  • They are made in one bowl (hello easy cleanup!)
  • With just 7 ingredients.
  • Are only 175 calories per muffin!

Ingredients in these muffins:

  • Almond flour
  • Eggs - I do not recommend substituting with flax eggs. You need real eggs here to create the right texturel
  • Pumpkin puree - or squash puree
  • Honey
  • Coconut oil - or vegan butter
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Vanilla extract - use the pure stuff for the best flavor!
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Coconut sugar - for topping the muffins before baking. Creates an irresistible crunch!

How to make paleo muffins:

  • Preheat and prep - preheat the oven, prep a muffin tin with paper liners, gather and measure ingredients.
  • Mix - Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and give it a good stir.
  • Scoop and sprinkle - Using a ⅓ cup scoop, transfer the batter to the prepaired muffin tin. Top each muffin with coconut sugar.
  • Bake - bake until the muffins have domes and the tops are firm to the touch. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

    I made these today and they’re very good! I didn’t use the full amount of sugar on to, but Matt next time.
