Pumpkin Chicken Chili
What sized eggs did you use in this recipe? My muffins turned out heavy and dense not light and airy. They were still good but I used very large eggs and since there are 6 in the recipe I am wondering if that is why. Thank you.
Oh I honestly don’t remember. I made this recipe 4 years ago.
Was partially disappointed with these muffins. The texture and consistency were good, much better than a lot of gluten-free recipes I’ve tried, but the flavour was quite bland. I can’t get pumpkin pie spice but made up 2tsp of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves, but still couldn’t taste the spice or pumpkin flavours. Will maybe need to experiment a bit.
These were great, even without honey, as Amanda was wondering. I used granular Splenda instead. They were very moist; so much so that they were impossible to eat warm and I had to wait until they cooled in the fridge before they were remotely firm. This could be because I used pumpkin puree out of the freezer and it seemed to be rather watery, but I don’t know. This recipe will be a keeper at my house. *thumbs up*
Hi! These were/are great and my kids love them too. Which says a lot :)
Being insulin resistant however , I need to watch sweeteners and ‘carbs ‘. My daily intake can be no greater than 35grams of non-fibrous carbohydrates. I’m wondering where I’d find nutritional content info on this and your other recipes?
Thanks in advance,
Isis
I’m sorry, I never calculate the nutritional breakdown of my recipes since I don’t personally track calories or other nutrients for myself.
Old post I know, but you can input ingredients in my fitness pal and it’ll calculate nutrient content for you….
i’ve made these muffins several times for our family and they are great! i have substituted half of the eggs for ‘flax eggs’ (2 tbsp flax meal mixed with water per egg) and it still holds up and turns out nice. another time i also used xylitol as a sweetener instead of honey to make them sugar free, and all turned out just fine. :)
Thank you for all the tips :)
So did you use 3 eggs + 6 tbsp flax meal/water? How much water?
This morning was the perfect morning for Pumpkin Muffins!!!
George I love your recipe. They are Awesome!!
They just came out of the oven and WOW!!
Great job. Having one with a great cup of coffee.
Thank you for all your recipes… Love them!!!
Thank you
Hi George,
Is there another type of flour that I can use to substitute the coconut flour? I live in Norway and coconut flour is outrageously expensive over here… Thanks!
Juliet, not in this recipe. Have you tried shopping on tropical traditions?
Also…if you have a really good blender, you can make your own coconut milk, then dry the leftover pulp in the oven, and Voila! Coconut Flour! :D
Made these today. It’s been weeks since I’ve tried any new (to me) recipes from your blog, I was having Caveman withdrawals, haha! These did NOT disappoint. I changed the recipe just a tad to make them more like my teenagers favorite pumpkin muffin before he went grain free, and they got the thumbs up from him. :) Upped the vanilla to one tablespoon, and used 1 teaspoon each of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, and a little ginger. Also added in 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar (gasp!) and put a streusel on top. Left out the cocoa and walnuts, baked at 350 instead of 400. Delish and a definate FIVE stars from me! Best coconut flour baked good I’ve had!
Woohoo
I thought the streusel idea was great and did it with half of my muffins and put chocolate chips in the other half. Loved it and will make again and again!
I’m trying to make these but the batter is so so runny I’m cautious about finishing them. Should the batter be so liquid-like?
I saw your pic on IG, I don’t know what happened
I seem to be the anomaly, but I was pretty disappointed in these. They taste like a paleo version of a baked good to me, and had a really wet, dense texture, which seemed so odd to me since I typically find baked goods that use coconut flour so light and airy. I also thought the pumpkin & spice flavors needed to be amped up quite a bit. I did sub maple syrup for the honey, but don’t think that should have drastically affected the results.
Since I had a half of a can of puree left, I made another paleo recipe that used almond flour and liked the result so much better.
Hi George – Can’t wait to make these but do you have any suggestions for subbing the eggs? It’s difficult to be paleo (my hubby has celiac and I have gluten allergies) with a son that is allergic to eggs! Any help or recommendations would be helpful.
LOVE all your recipes. Always delicious and it makes me happy to know that I’m serving my family REAL food.
I shot you an email
Hi George,
I was wondering if you could share your response to this post with me. I also have a son with egg allergy and I would love to be able to make these.
Thank you
Melissa
I don’t know egg substitutes so I don’t know. I know some people use apple sauce and other things but I haven’t tried
Just made these into ‘pancakes’, with a little less honey, used almond meal instead of coconut flour, and topped with cream cheese (rather than the real Vermont Maple Syrup I was actually considering :D They’re aMAzing. Pumpkin Pie for brunch!
Woohoo. So glad you enjoyed
Really tasty and easy to make. I didn’t change the recipe at all, it’s awesome as is.
Woohoo thank you Natalie
I just made these for my boys and they gobbled them down. Very, very yummy!
Woohoo thank you
This was my first experience baking with coconut flour & I love its light, fluffy texture. These muffins are definitely keepers and I’ll be making them again. The only changes I made to the recipe were to add a 1/2 tsp. sea salt and some dried cranberries. Yum! Thanks for sharing.
Eileen,
That is so great to hear. Coconut flour can be tricky but the more you use it the better. I hope you enjoy many more of my recipes :)
Could you put a link to just print your recipes – when I try to print them I get everything, including the ads and every comment – so I am sometimes printing 5 pages for just the one recipe. Love your recipes though!
Ann I am working on editing all the posts to look like my new ones. On the new ones the print feature only prints the recipe and photo. It will be done soon
Ann. Also on that floating sidebar. Click on more and find print friendly. Tht will allow you to only print what you need
Do u think these would work without the honey (for the 21 DSD)? Or would they end up to dry?
I would honestly wait they would be too dry for me
Thank you for this recipe! My 9 year old daughter is severely autistic and has difficulty with new foods. She has never been able to tolerate baked goods and craves salty potato chips. We are slowly and gently trying to broaden her food choices and make her paleo like her dad and I. I just made these muffins and she sat down and ate half of one while working on her puzzles. No crying, no complaining, no gagging! I don’t even have the words to explain how big of a deal this is for us. Thank you for your website, I’ve loved everything I’ve tried!
Thank you so much Jennifer. You just made me tear up. That is so awesome
I just bought a bunch of almond flour, is it ok to replace the coconut flour with that?
No they are completely different. You can not sub them out
These are GREAT! I made them today and even my 3 yr old likes them! I will be making lots of your recipes in the near future… :)
Woohoo, I love when they are kid approved. I can’t wait to hear when you like more :)
I made these for breakfast this morning. I expect we’ll be making these often. If I can whip them up before work, you know they’re easy, and so, so tasty! Thanks for sharing!
Woohoo you are so welcome. Enjoy
I just made these today, and I have to say, I am impressed. This is the first baked good I have ever made that contains coconut flour that doesn’t taste awful! In fact, they are quite yummy! I added chocolate chips to the batter since I was making them for my kids’ lunch boxes. They are super!
Oh I make them that way too. I am so glad you loved them and they didnt taste like crap :)
These were sooooo gooood!
So glad you enjoyed them Leea, this is one of my favorite recipes

Your welcome Torrey, you won't ever find one in the store without one of those two because those are used as preservatives. When you mix it yourself you have to use it immediately
Oh, and a million thanks for the baking powder recipe!
I've been reading all the labels of the ones that are commercially available and they ALL contain either cornstarch or potato starch! :'(
Happy Halloween to you too Torrey, so glad you like them
These are so yummy! I didn't have walnuts, so I topped them with pecans. Also, I used dark maple syrup instead of honey. I made them for a second time over the weekend–so easy and dee-lish!
Happy Halloween! :)
So glad you liked them Christie
These were so good and moist it was like eating pumpkin pie!!! I used almond milk instead of the coconut oil and egg whites..but they are still tasty lol
Looks good!
I make something similar just add chopped apple to it
So glad you enjoyed Chrissy :)
I added a little bit of maple syrup to the batter and they turned out FANTASTIC!! So moist & delicious! :)
All fixed Karissa, thank you its baking powder
In the ingredient list it says baking powder but in the directions it says to add the baking soda. Which one is correct?
You are most welcome JaceyH, so glad you enjoyed :)
These were so tasty! Light fluffy texture on the inside and a nice crunchy topping.
Thanks for the recipe!
