Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter Mini Muffins + Giveaway

September 21, 2015 by Erin 112 Comments

Though we don’t restrict gluten or flour in our household, I think it’s fun to try new baking tricks.  These pumpkin spice peanut butter mini muffins impressed both of us.  During my research of using egg and pumpkin with baking powder to create the structure of the muffin I admit to being skeptical of the outcome, but these came out so moist and rich and delicious that I never even missed the flour.

The texture of these muffins is what would happen if fudge and cake got married.  Lacking the structured crumb of a traditional muffin, these still have enough stability to hold their shape while not being too gooey.  The combination of pumpkin, peanut butter, and fall spices results in a gloriously rich flavor that is a treat for anyone, whether you follow a gluten-free lifestyle or not.

Pumpkin spice products are everywhere right now, and yes, pumpkin spice peanut butter is one of them!  I’ve written in the past about the two categories of pumpkin spice flavored products – either they only contain the mixture of spices found in pumpkin pie, like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, or they contain actual pumpkin along with those spices.

I’ve had some tasty pumpkin spice peanut butter in the past that was only flavored with spices, but I was thrilled to see that Peanut Butter & Co‘s version is made with actual pumpkin puree!  Not one to always believe front label marketing, I flipped over my jar and confirmed that the ingredients list does indeed contain actual really really real pumpkin.

The addition of real pumpkin puree makes a significant difference in not only the flavor but also the texture.  This peanut butter tastes like fall in a jar.

My yield was 14 mini muffins with this recipe.  Since most mini muffin pans contain 24-36 cavities, feel free to double the ingredients.  When scooping the batter, I found that using a small cookie scoop (like this one) and using a generous rounded scoopful gave me just the right amount of batter per mini muffin and made scooping them lots faster.
