4 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

These 4 ingredient muffins are semi-homemade! Meaning, we used a gluten free bread mix (yes, the kind you find all ready to bake in the grocery store) and then added a couple of ingredients to make it our own! Remember to ignore the directions on the package for this 4 ingredient pumpkin muffin recipe! We are using a muffin mix, but making it our own by adding our OWN ingredients. Let’s chat about what we used in these healthy pumpkin muffins.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gluten Free Muffin Mix- Feel free to use your favorite gluten free muffin or bread mix. Our most favorite mix to use is the Simple Mills Banana Muffin and Bread Mix. The banana flavor naturally sweetens these gluten free pumpkin muffins and takes them to the next level! SO GOOD. Here are some other great gluten free mixes to use! 

• Krusteaz Gluten Free Muffin Mix
• Simple Mills Chocolate Gluten Free Muffin Mix
• Simple Mills Pumpkin Muffin Gluten Free Mix

Eggs- Good ole’ fashion large eggs are what we use to hold together and fluff up these muffins. We have NOT tested this recipe with a flax egg. Let us know if you give it a try! Pumpkin Puree- The pumpkin puree in this recipe replaces the oil and the water that you would use if you were following the directions! Remember to use pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. The results will be much sweeter and very different. Pumpkin Pie Spice- Adding a little bit of our homemade pumpkin pie spice mix to these muffins makes these the perfect fall treat that we crave when the leaves start turning! Optional Add-Ins- If you would like to add a little crunch to these gluten-free pumpkin muffins, the options are endless! If you want to make them more of a dessert, add in mini chocolate chips. If you want them to be more of breakfast food, try adding your favorite chopped nut!

Helpful Kitchen Tools

How can you make sure that you make the most perfect muffin? Be prepared! Here are our favorite tools we use when we are baking muffins! when you have the right tools, life is easier!

• Non-Stick Muffin Tin- We prefer to use a non-stick muffin tin most of the time. We spray the pan with coconut oil for good measure and pop it in the oven!
• Cooling Rack- We recommend placing your muffin on a cooling rack after letting the muffins sit for 5 minutes. This way they will not cool in the pan and stick to the sides of your muffin tin.
• Muffin Liners- If you do not have a non-stick muffin tin, we recommend using silicone muffin liners or paper muffin liners for easy removal!
