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. Whisk together all of the wet ingredients and set aside. Next, add all of the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated. Grease a muffin tin or add muffin liners (6 or 9). Fill each cavity with the batter. Next, make the cream cheese filling. Add the cream cheese to a small bowl and microwave for ~ 30 seconds until easy to stir. Add the maple syrup, milk, and vanilla and whisk/stir until fully incorporated. Transfer to a piping bag or a ziplock bag. Cut off the tip and pipe the filling into each muffin. 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!
