These Pumpkin Pecan Muffins come at the request of one of our SIBO friends who wanted to know how to make pumpkin muffins without almond flour. This recipe uses a combination of pecan, walnut, and coconut to create a nut flour suitable for SIBO. These Pumpkin Pecan Muffins are a bit more moist than my almond flour muffins with a very delicate spice flavor. They are perfectly moist and soft. And create a spectacular breakfast or dessert.
This recipe is very similar to my Pumpkin Ginger Muffin recipe.
Pumpkin Pecan Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan pieces
- 1 cup walnut pieces
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- + 2 Tbs coconut flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup extra pecan crumbs for sprinkling on top
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Place all of the dry ingredients into a food processor. Pulse for 10-15 seconds at a time for about 6 pulses, or until the nuts turn into a flour. Be careful not to over process as you can easily turn any nut flour into a butter by processing too aggressively or for too long.
-
Place the eggs, pumpkin puree, and honey into a large separate bowl. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
-
Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until a thick but consistent batter forms. This batter will be fluffy and thick.
-
Scoop and scrape the batter into paper lined muffins cups. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center muffin comes out clean.
-
Sprinkle with pecan crumbs for a decorated top.

hi there, do you think you could freeze these muffins? I am having trouble with the time required in the morning to get a SIBO breakfast ready and still get to work and was wondering if I could just make these, freeze them, warm them up and then eat for breakfast!! maybe I should just get up earlier! thanks Rachel.
