  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil if dairy-free, softened
  • ½ cup Natural Sweetener
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh or canned pumpkin puree

CREAM CHEESE FILLING:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (or Kite Hill brand cream cheese style spread if dairy-free), softened
  • ¼ cup Natural Sweetener
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean scraped clean

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease or place paper liners in 6 JUMBO muffin wells OR 12 muffin wells of a standard-size muffin pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and spices until well combined. In another bowl, mix together the butter, sweetener, eggs, and pumpkin until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each
  • about two-thirds full.
  • To make the filling, using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Add the sweetener, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat until well combined. Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
  • Bake the muffins for 30 to 40 minutes for JUMBO muffins (20-25 minutes for standard muffins), until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing from the pan. Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven for 5
  • minutes or until warmed through.
