Equipment

Jumbo or regular muffin pan or ramekin

Ingredients

1/4 cup pumpkin puree (60 g) sub applesauce or mashed banana
1 tsp oil (5 g)
2 tsp any milk/yogurt or water (10 g) I use unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp sugar (12 g) sub maple syrup or other sweetener
1/4 cup flour (30 g) gf all purpose if desired
1/8 tsp baking soda or use total 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 heaping tsp chopped pecans (5 g) sub other nuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and grease/line one jumbo muffin cavity (or two regular).
In a small bowl blend pumpkin, oil, sugar.
In a mug whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, salt.
Add dry into wet and combine via folding (don't overmix). If the batter seems too dry add 1 tsp water/milk at a time and mix.
Transfer to muffin pan and sprinkle with chopped pecans (I also like to add some coarse sugar).
Bake 25 minutes or until the center is done, cool on a wire rack and enjoy!

Notes

This muffin is as soft and yummy as they come but if you want an even richer tasting muffin, increase oil another tsp or so and reduce milk/yogurt by the same amount.
You can make 2 snack sized muffins out of this recipe, just reduce baking time to 20 min or so.
