Starbucks Pumpkin Muffins-GF

BETTER THAN STARBUCKS PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS, when I say RUN, don’t walk, I mean it. To be honest, I’ve never actually had one of these muffins from Starbucks—nothing in the case ever looks appealing to me and I like making my own. But my friend posted her better-for-you version of these muffins a few days ago and they looked so good, I made them immediately! They are not too sweet which I loved and the texture is literally perfect. They also happen to be gluten-free and can be made dairy-free too! Please check out Melissa’s page for all kinds of yummy eats and make sure to give her a follow (and maybe one for me too while you are at it lol)!⁣ ⁣ Makes 6 jumbo muffins or 9 regular size ⁣ Muffins—⁣ 3 eggs⁣ 1 cup pumpkin puree⁣ 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted⁣ 1/3 cup maple syrup⁣ 2 tsp vanilla extract⁣ 1 cup almond flour⁣ 1/2 cup organic arrowroot flour (or tapioca flour or cornstarch)⁣ 1/4 cup coconut flour⁣ 1 tb pumpkin pie spice⁣ 1 tsp cinnamon⁣ 1 tsp baking soda⁣ 1/4 tsp salt⁣ Pumpkin seeds for topping⁣ ⁣ Cream cheese filling:⁣ 7 oz cream cheese, softened⁣ 2 1/2 tb maple syrup⁣ 2 tb milk of choice⁣ 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract⁣ ⁣ Preheat oven to 350F.

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds around top. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the muffin part (not the cream cheese part) comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin and then transfer to wired cooling rack to cool completely, and enjoy!⁣ ⁣
