    Gluten-Free Crumble Top Pumpkin Muffins

    Gluten Free Pumpkin Crumble Muffins

    Do you even pumpkin spice bro? Ok, sorry for that basic tidbit to start this post off with but I’ve had three glasses of wine (on a Monday night, because Monday.) I’m not a huge PSL fan (I drink my coffee black, because I’m a hard ass) but I do love using pumpkin as an ingredient.

     

    Aaron and I met the parentals for lunch yesterday and Mom mentioned she wanted to make some gluten-free pumpkin muffins and invited me over so we could bake together. I mean, how cute is my ma?

     

    Ok, so these are gluten free and everything organic (b/c mom is a little crunchy) but they turned out pretty damn good. I took them to work and one of the guys did a hip thrust, so I’ll take that as a “yes Kelli. These are indeed delectable treats.” Sharing these with y’all b/c: PUMPKIN.

    So I’ve tried several gluten-free flours for  various recipes- most have been blends of various flours (almond, potato, rice, tapioca, etc.) However, this one seemed to work quite well for baking: (I DO NOT recommend the Pillsbury brand gluten free flour blend unless you want your dish to taste like paste.)

    Gluten-Free Flour good for baking: Blue Diamond

    Blue Diamond almond flour, you get an A! For the record, I’m not personally gluten free. I notice that I feel better when I eat less carbs and gluten, however it’s not something that I’ve completely cut out of my life. BUT, when it’s an option, (and actually tastes good) I’m definitely on board!

    Gluten-Free Crumble Top Pumpkin Muffins
    A moist muffin that is great for breakfast OR dessert. The muffin itself isn't to sweet and is a good spiced compliment to the sweetness of the crumble and icing drizzle!

    Notes
    1. I halved the original crumble and drizzle recipe as the one that we made up made such a huge surplus. The amounts above should be adequate for this recipe. Please feel free to give feedback if needed!
