How To Make low carb pumpkin peanut butter muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350-375 (ovens vary in heat) In a large mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid) put pumpkin,eggs,oil,peanut butter,vanilla,both sweeteners,and spices all together and mix well on medium speed.
  • Step 2
    In a separate bowl combine the almond flour, baking mix,salt and baking powder and stir together. Add this to the wet mixture and turn on low speed until blended in.
  • Step 3
    Put 24 muffin papers in pans and spray with non stick spray. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 the way full, should make 24 regular sized muffins. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a sharp knife inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • Step 4
    Let the muffins cool a bit before taking them out of the pans, then let them cool on a rack and then...ENJOY! Each muffin has about 5.5 carbs.
