Gluten-free pumpkin spice muffins – glutenvrij pompoenmuffins (GF-DF)

Baking warm bread, muffins, speculaas. It's the time of year and how good is it with a warm oven in the kitchen and lovely smells pouring out of it every day. The only problem is that I cannot eat all of it, so I have to restrict myself a bit. 

I bought myself a slow-cooker and am experimenting with it too now. almost every day. I must say that I like the way things cook so far. I made a pumpkin butter from Tasty Yummies, really delightful! I made a creamy brown basmati breakfast porridge, which I will  share shortly and I even baked a gluten-free buckwheat bread in it! 

Making a good and tasty, crusty gluten-free bread is one of my goals this winter. I bought this book and I am really inspired by it. But as you know I cannot follow a recipe to the dot, so I am struggling to make my own variations and I will keep you informed!

Instead of the all-time favourite banana bread I like to bake in autumn, I made these warm flavoured pumpkin spice muffins. They are lightly sweet and rich from the spices and pumpkin puree.

You’ll need:

dry ingredients:

1 cup GF flour mix (next post more about it)

¼ cup almond flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp sea salt

1 heaped tsp pumpkin spices

1/3 cup of unrefined cane sugar

wet ingredients:

½ cup pumpkin puree

1 organic egg

¼ cup olive oil

1 tbsp vanilla extract

lemon zest

¼ cup + 2 tbsp rice milk or nut milk

Pre heat the oven on 350 °F or 175°C.

Mix the dry ingredients in a big bowl.

Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl.

Pour wet into dry and mix quickly and well.

Divide over 6 mini loaf pans, or 10 paper muffin liners and bake in the middle of the oven for 40-45 minutes till done. Prick a bamboo skewer inside and when it comes out clean, they are done.

Let them cool a little if you can resist the smell!
