Delicious Pumpkin Almond Mini Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Almond Mini Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C). While it warms up, give your mini muffin pans a light spray with canola oil cooking spray or line them with cute paper liners to make cleanup a breeze.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground allspice. This aromatic blend will set the stage for your muffins!

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat them together until everything is well blended and smooth. Then, gently fold in the pumpkin puree and melted coconut oil until just combined. Don't overmix; we want those flavors to shine!

4. Step 4

   Now, it's time to bring the two mixtures together. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until the batter is well mixed. The batter should be thick and luscious, ready to fill those muffin cups!

5. Step 5

   Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 1/4 inch from the top. For a delightful crunch, sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each muffin before they go into the oven.

6. Step 6

   Bake your mini muffins in the preheated oven for about 11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will be irresistible!

7. Step 7

   Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pans for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool for another 5 minutes on the rack, then finish them off with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar for that sweet touch.
