These easy, fluffy gluten-free pumpkin muffins are made with simple ingredients like pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and toasted pecans. They are moist, tender, and perfect for fall or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil or Melted Coconut Oil
  • 3/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped and toasted
  • 1 tablespoon Coarse Sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Toast chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, and buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the cooled, toasted pecans.
  7. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the tops.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure you use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon. Toasting the pecans is essential for flavor. Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy texture. Ingredients should be at room temperature for best results.
