These are very simple to make which is great because my daughter loves to help me make them. I always mix my wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls and then fold them together to combine. This helps keep the muffin from getting too dense. Almond flour is the base of these muffins and I love to use Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour.
Coconut sugar is my sweetener of choice for most of my baking recipes. It has a flavor very similar to brown sugar, but it isn’t quite as sweet. It also has a lower glycemic index which is great. The flavor pairs very well with the pumpkin and the beautiful, warming pumpkin pie spice.
The streusel topping is what really puts these beauties over the top. It adds the perfect crunch and another layer of warm fall spiciness. It’s an extra step but it is so worth it and it only takes a few minutes. The pecans end up tasting like the spiced, candied nuts that they sell at the fair. The kind that you can smell from a mile away. It’s my favorite part of these muffins.
