Ingredients:  

Dry ingredients

  • 1 cup plain flour (regular or gluten free)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup pecans
  • Pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup light or mild olive oil
  • 2 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

  • Preheat oven to bake 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a non-stick 12 hole muffin tray with olive oil.
  • Sift plain flour into a large mixing bowl. Add all remaining dry ingredients, reserving 12 single pecans to garnish with later. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Into another bowl add wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  • Add wet to dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just incorporated.
  • Evenly divide batter into the muffin tray. Garnish each with a single pecan.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and let the tray sit for five minutes. Using a small cheese knife, gently loosen the muffins from their holes and then let cool on a cooling rack.
