These paleo pumpkin muffins are one of my favorite fall recipes. They’re the best pumpkin muffins I’ve tried, gluten free or otherwise!
These paleo pumpkin muffins are made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. I love using a variety of flours in my paleo and gluten free baking recipes because it gives the baked goods awesome texture. The ingredients for this muffin recipe are pretty simple, and I bet you already have them on hand!
Ingredients For Paleo Pumpkin Muffins
- Pumpkin puree
- Honey
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Pumpkin pie spice
These paleo pumpkin muffins are moist, flavorful, and subtly sweet. I’m pretty sure this recipe would even work in a loaf pan for paleo pumpkin bread! I’ll have to give it a try one of these days. The steps for making these healthy gluten free pumpkin muffins are simple. Here’s what you do:
How To Make Paleo Pumpkin Muffins
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the honey, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, spices, and baking soda and mix thoroughly until combined.
- Add in the almond flour and coconut flour, and mix until a batter is formed.
- Line a standard size muffin tin with parchment muffin liners, and pour the batter in until it fills the cup a little over halfway.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes until the middles look set.
- Let the pumpkin muffins cool in the pan for 15 minutes before serving.
For this particular muffin recipe, it’s important to let them cool for about 15 minutes in the pan before taking them out to continue cooling. This will ensure they have the perfect texture and won’t be too wet inside.
If you read my Cinnamon Streusel Muffin post, you’ll remember how I raved about these parchment paper muffin liners. They are essential for baking, in my opinion. And if you can believe it, these gluten free, dairy free, paleo pumpkin muffins taste even BETTER the next day! Enjoy!

It says to add vanilla but no vanilla is listed in the ingredients list?
Oops! I’m sorry, Hannah! It’s 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I’ll be sure to update the recipe. Thank you!

I just made these today and they are a huge hit! Even with my 10 year old!! Thanks for the new recipe! 🙂
Hooray!! It’s hard to please those 10 year olds! 😅 This totally made my day, thanks for the review Ally!
These are SO DELICIOUS!! I made a simple icing of coconut oil, maple syrup and almond flavoring to go on top too. Everyone LOVES them!
Thanks
Your icing sounds amazing!! So glad they were a hit! Thanks for your feedback Sherree!
Delicious and easy.
Thanks
You’re so welcome, Peggy! Thank you for your feedback!
I am following a no white flour, no white sugar and no white rice diet. To help with my pain after cancer treatments and surgery. I have tried several muffin recipes and this is the best!!! My family loved them too. Thank you.
You’re very welcome! This comment made my day. I wish you luck on your healing journey! Thank you Stacy!
Omg made these 3 times now. Soooo yummy! I am on an anti inflammatory diet for pain purposes and these are amazing!!! Topped with a little almond/coconut whip cream! A real treat!!!
Thank you so much Stacy! I’m so glad you love these paleo pumpkin muffins! Coconut whipped cream on top sounds delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!
These are delicious! I was preparing myself to be underwhelmed with yet another too-moist, too-dense paleo muffin. But these are amazing! I pulled a muffin apart into 2 halves and it looked just like a regular muffin! And tasted like one, too! I made 2 changes: I subbed maple syrup for honey and (since I can’t do coconut at the moment), I subbed 1 cup cassava flour for the 1/4 cup coconut flour. Yes, you need that much cassava since coconut absorbs a ton of moisture. Perfect!
Yay!! So glad your substitutions worked out. I’ve made it with the maple too and loved it! I’ll have to try the cassava sometime. 😋 Thanks MadisonMama!
