  1. I was beginning to make these Coconut Flour Pumpkin Muffins, but then I realized the recipe did not explain what to do with the melted butter. Is that added to the whole mix at some point and time? Is it crucial to when?

    • Oh, yes! Add it in! I think after the coconut flour is best, so that it doesn’t “cook” the eggs too much when it’s really hot. I’ll fix this! Thank you Patty!

  2. My dd made these yesterday, and they were Gone in an Instant! Soooo good. I made another batch this morning, after much pleading from the kids.

    We can’t wait to try the Blueberry Muffins!

    • Melissa, I don’t, sorry! I’m sure there are online tools to enter a recipe & find out? I don’t really pay attention to nutritional content (as far as calories, fats, etc.). πŸ™‚ Let me know if you figure it out & we can share it here! πŸ™‚

  3. AWESOME! Better than “regular” pumpkin muffins. So moist! VERY sweet, works great for a spice cake cupcake…I think for muffins I’ll cut back on the honey. πŸ™‚

  4. Hi! I just found your blog when I googled “coconut flour pumpkin muffins”. Your recipe and blog look great and very informative. I especially like the chart comparing paleo/primal/GAPS. I look forward to browsing some more – will try the muffin recipe in the morning. πŸ™‚

  5. These were great!!
    I only made 1 change. Instead of using all butter, I used half butter & half coconut oil. I also topped them with a few chopped pecans! VERY yummy! Will be making these again soon!

  6. Made these this morning. They turned out great!!!! Thanks for the recipe! The only thing I did differently is I mixed chopped pecans with 1 Tbs of coconut/palm sugar and sprinkled it on top of the unbaked muffins. Walnuts would be really good, too. πŸ™‚

  8. Any recommendations for a kiddo who is allergic to eggs and has started breaking out to bananas? Those were my egg sub but now I don’t think that I can use them. Stuck!

  9. Wow. These are so good! I used only 1/3 cup honey, and increased the pumpkin to 2/3 cup. I actually forgot the vanilla, but oh well, they turned out great anyway!

    Instead of a mixer, I just used my Blendtec πŸ™‚ always does a great job with coconut flour muffins.

  10. should these be stored in the fridge or are they okay to sit out (in a tupperware container) at room temperature? I read somewhere that coconut flour baked goods will stale quickly if not kept in the fridge. This is my first time using it so i want to make sure.

  11. These are so good. We love the chocolate fudge brownies as well. We’re sneaking towards GAPS but my daughter has nut intolerances so it’s great to find so many coconut recipes on your pages. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome recipes with us. πŸ™‚

  12. These muffins were absolutely fantastic! Slightly more moist than a normal muffin but the flavor was perfect! I substituted coconut oil for the butter, agave nectar for honey, and organic pumpkin pie spice for all the individual spices.

  13. Just made these and man do they smell awesome!! I only barely got nine though, and they aren’t as big as yours, I wonder what I did wrong… I did sunstitute the pumpkin with carrots and a shot of cream to make up for lost moisture from the pumpkin pure.But the amount is the same.

  14. These are fantastic! The family loves them!!! Very easy and quick as well thank you for the yummy recipes, and all the work put into the site! (I used agave instead of honey, and they came out great!)

  15. These are amazing! I am over the moon when I find something GAPS friendly that both my kids like! I added pecans for a little extra crunch. I look forward to trying your other recipes. Thank you!

  17. These were absolutely delicious! I did make a couple of adjustments in terms of the sweetener and spices. I used one cup of granulated Swerve sweetener ( to keep it low carb) and instead of all the separate spices, I just used McCormick pumpkin pie spice. They came out perfectly sweet and pumpkin-y and even rose in the oven! I did have one minor issue with the batter sticking to the muffin tin liners when I tried to remove them. Did anyone else have this issue? Thanks for the great recipe!
