Ingredient Notes
See the full list of ingredients and amounts in the recipe card below.
- Almond Flour: I prefer to bake with blanched almond flour, but you can use almond meal if it’s all you have on hand.
- Pure Pumpkin Puree: I use a can of unsweetened pumpkin puree. Make sure you don’t grab pumpkin pie filling, as this is full of sugar.
- Monk Fruit Sweetener: This is an all-natural 1:1 sugar substitute instead of using regular sugar or maple syrup which are high in carbs and calories.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don’t have a pumpkin spice blend on hand, you can make your own! Combine 3 tbsp ground cinnamon, 2 tsp ginger, 2 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp allspice, and 1 tsp ground cloves. Use 1 tbsp for this recipe and store the rest for later use!
- Eggs: These almond flour pumpkin muffins are packed with protein thanks to the almond flour and the 6 eggs in the batter. That’s half an egg per muffin!
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Almond Milk
- Large Eggs
- Coconut Oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF with the oven rack in the middle. Place your silicone muffin tin on top of a rimmed baking sheet (to make it easy to lift the muffin pan). Line with cupcake liners if desired.
- In your blender, combine all the wet ingredients and dry ingredients except the pumpkin seeds. Blend over medium speed until completely combined, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Divide the pumpkin muffin batter to fill the muffin cups. You should fill the muffin cups 5/6 full. The batter is a thicker batter, so use a butter knife to swirl the center of the batter around to remove any big air pockets. Top the keto muffins with shelled pumpkin seeds if using.
- Bake the muffins for 40 minutes or until the top of each muffin is golden brown.
Expert Tips
Blender: I love making my muffin batter in my blender. The batter comes out silky smooth, and I can pour the batter right into my muffin pan.
Silicone Pans: I’m still loving my silicone muffin pans, the muffins pop right out! No sticking! And I don’t have to use paper liners and waste any of my delicious keto pumpkin muffins that got stuck to the muffin liner.
Add-ins: Throw in dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts, and top with toasted pumpkin seeds for the ultimate almond flour pumpkin muffin!
Storage Tips
Store these healthy pumpkin muffins in an airtight container at room temperature and eat within 4 days for optimal freshness.
To freeze, wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature and serve!
Recipe FAQs
These muffins freeze beautifully! Allow the muffins to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in saran wrap and store them in a freezer-safe ziptop bag. They will last in the freezer for 6 months. Just remove and allow to thaw at room temperature.
No! You can also make these keto pumpkin muffins in a large bowl with a whisk, I prefer a blender because it blends everything so fast and perfectly.

My husband made these and followed the directions. This batter was not thick like stated in the recipe but it is super runny and the muffins came out flat. Being that there are 6 eggs in the batter may be the reason. They did taste very eggy.
