Raise your hand if you’re still loving pumpkin recipes! Since today is October 1, I had to keep the love for pumpkin flowing this week by sharing my favorite paleo breakfast so far this season – Flourless Pumpkin Spice Muffins.
First things first, let’s talk October changes. I took a walk during my lunch break today and stopped by the Daley Plaza Farmers Market. The market takes place weekly on Thursdays all summer and into early fall, through the end of October. The plaza market was full of mini pumpkins and other autumn goods today – apples and goards! I didn’t pick up any orange beauties {hauling a bag of pumpkins home on the train is less than ideal} but now I have the itch to add a few to my front steps for festive decor this weekend.
I tested a few different versions of these pumpkin muffins over the past month and I think I finally got it right with this recipe. The main ingredients are pumpkin, ripe bananas, eggs, spices, and coconut flour. I used honey for sweetening, but pure maple syrup also works well. The best coconut flour to use {in my opinion} is Bob’s Red Mill. Different brands may require slightly more/less coconut flour to get the same consistency.
My favorite way to enjoy this muffin is warmed and topped with almond butter. It’s normal to go through close to a jar every week, right? 🙂

I can't get enough pumpkin right now, and these muffins look like the perfect way to welcome October! I love your idea to top these with almond butter!
Awesome, thanks Elizabeth!
Thanks Kristine! Seriously, anything topped with almond butter is the best 🙂
I love pumpkin recipes and these muffins looks great!
Absolutely my kind of muffin. 🙂
Sound awesome…definitely making these:)
Thanks!! I'll have to try these 🙂
These look great! I am allergic to coconuts (weird I know) so I wonder what other flour would work. Maybe almond? What do you think?
I can't get enough of pumpkin recipes! I love the thought of a flourless one too! Thanks so much for sharing
These look so yummy! I can't wait to try making them. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe sounds delish! I have some coconut flour that I need to use up and this would be perfect!
Oh my gosh, I'm definitely adding this to my pumpkin recipe collection! As an American living in Scotland, there's not much hype around pumpkin and it's so tragic as it's one of my favourites! Thanks for sharing!
