Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (coconut brown sugar plus brown sugar or plain)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup tahini (substitute with almond paste or even peanut butter but tahini works best)
  • ⅓ cup olive oil (you can substitue with coconut oil or even vegetable oil)
  • ½ cup canned pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1¾ cups whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ tsp cinnamom powder(optional)
Add ins
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup bitter sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place 12 paper liners into each well of your standard size muffin baking pan or use cooking spray and flour the muffin tins.
  2. Measure out the flour, baking soda, salt and spice in a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, coconut oil and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together. Do not over mix, just stir until everything is incorporated into the batter.
  5. Mix in the pecans and chocolate chips.
  6. It is helpful to use a large scoop (like an ice cream scoop) to evenly distribute the batter into each well. They will be nearly full. This will help give your muffins a nice puffy dome.
  7. Bake your muffins for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
