These healthy pumpkin streusel muffins are the perfect way to ring in September! They are made with wholesome ingredients, come together in one bowl, and will have your house smelling better than any bath and body works candle ever could! 😉
Ingredients and substitutions
Oat flour: You can use store-bought or homemade. To make it homemade, simply grind old fashioned rolled oats in a high-powered blender until a super fine flour forms.
Almond flour: There is no 1:1 sub for almond flour, besides cashew flour. Subbing the almond flour for anything else won’t create the same soft texture 🙁
Eggs: You can try subbing a flax egg in place of the two eggs, however using real eggs will provide the best results. To make a flax egg, mix together 1 tbsp of ground flax seeds with 2.5 tbsp water. Mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes to gel up.
Pumpkin puree
Maple syrup: You can sub honey.
Coconut sugar: You can sub monk fruit for a lower sugar option, however if I do this, I usually do half monk fruit and half coconut sugar as the coconut sugar really adds a caramelized flavor to the recipe. You can also use this brown sugar monk fruit which will do the same thing while keeping it lower in sugar!
Cinnamon & Pumpkin pie spice
Chopped pecans: These are used in the streusel topping. You can also use chopped walnuts or any other nut you like.
Coconut oil: This is used in the streusel. You can sub avocado oil or even butter, vegan butter, ghee, etc.
