Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
- In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter and 1/2 cup Truvia brown sugar blend with a hand mixer until light and slightly fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and the mixture looks smooth.
- Mix in the vanilla bean paste and canned pumpkin puree until the batter is evenly combined and uniform in color.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups almond flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture just until combined and no dry spots remain. The batter will be thick.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, 1/2 cup almond flour, and 1/4 cup Truvia brown sugar blend. Stir with a fork until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins, pressing very lightly so it adheres.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are set, the crumbs are golden at the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and spices.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to keep the muffins tender.
- Let the muffins cool fully before storing to avoid condensation and a soggy texture.
- For best muffin domes, fill cups evenly and avoid opening the oven during the first 15 minutes of baking.
