I LOVE pumpkin. Spring, summer, fall or winter. Thanks for the great recipe!
Sarah DJ
These are spectacular! They taste AND look great!

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?
brenda
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!
Lisa
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!
brenda
Lisa, I am so glad you enjoyed them! ๐
Melissa Williams
Do you have the nutritional content for these? They’re delicious!
brenda
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.). ๐ Let me know if you figure it out & we can share it here! ๐
Amanda
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. ๐
brenda
Amanda, thanks for the comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Great idea to try them with less honey. Let me know how that works out!
Veronica
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. ๐

When do you add butter??
Erin K
Read the last line in the paragraph section…
Crack the eggs into the bowl of an electric mixer or into a large mixing bowl. Beat with your mixer or a wire whisk. Add in vanilla, honey, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking soda. Mix until combined. Slowly add in the coconut flour and the butter.
Emily
My question too. What do you do with the melted butter?
Brenda
Add it in at the end. ๐

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!

These are amazing! Great recipe Brenda!
Rachel Pierson
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. ๐

These were terrific, they are a new favorite for our family, thank you so much!

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!
Jen_skinner
I’ve never tried it, but you can make an egg substitute with flax meal and water.
Bryttni Gibson
flax or chia eggs (: i use them in place of a couple of eggs in coconut flour recipes.
Fireflycyn
They are fabulous!! I don’t miss regular muffins because these are so delicious!
naya
would these muffins turn out ok if we substituted the butter with coconut oil?
brenda
Yes, for sure! Thanks for asking! ๐
ChrisP
Yes. ๐
Pam F
These are great! I used a Sweet Lightning squash in place of the pumpkin.
Pam F
Tried them again w/ zucchini in place of pumpkin and only 1/3-cup of honey. Kids couldn’t get enough of them!
Rebekah
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 ๐ always does a great job with coconut flour muffins.
kesha
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.
Serena
I made this but substituted the butter with apple sauce and maple syrup for the honey and was delicious! Thank you!
ThePRIMEpursuit
These were fantastic! I used 1/4 cup maple syrup instead of the honey and they still came out great!
Thank you,

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. ๐

Thank you for the great recipes. I love muffins, and can’t wait to try them ALL!
Nicole
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.
Kari Kristine Haugberg
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.
RobinGoodnight
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!)
Diane P
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!

Hey, I wrote a post about this recipe on my blog GAPS teen Check it out here if you want!http://gapsteen.blogspot.com/2014/08/gaps-legal-pumpkin-muffins.html
Kat
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!
