Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gluten-free flour mix  ~ or any favorite GF flour combination you have will work.  *See in notes below
  • 2 tsp Baking powder ~ Corn-free if needed
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Allspice
  • 1/8 tsp Cloves
  • 1 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum or Guar gum ~ only for gluten-free if it is not in the flour mix, do not need in whole-wheat version
  • 2 cups Pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup Pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup Apple butter see below my super quick & easy method
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Raisins original recipe uses golden
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts optional
  • 1/4 cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional) I use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Prepare muffin tins with liners or a non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Mix well.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl add pumpkin, maple syrup, apple butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and mix.
  • Stir in raisins (and nuts if choose) be careful not to over mix if using regular flour.
  • Spoon into prepared muffin tins. Bake for 23-25 minutes.
  • Remove from muffin tins and let cool on wire racks.

Notes

Corn-free baking powder
**Special Tips
If you don't have apple butter on hand use this quick and easy method:
In a microwavable dish add 2 cups unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cloves, mix well.  Microwave until bubbly - about 3-5 minutes. Instant apple butter. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
An easy homemade gluten-free flour mix that works well in this recipe is:
2 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
