Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins (Vegan)

February 28, 2016February 23, 2018 Melissa King 11 Comments

Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins. Do you like pumpkin? We eat it all year round. My husband likes to take muffins to work and I usually make these muffins, but I only had a small amount of oat flour.

So I decided to tweak the recipe a bit and make these Healthy Pumpkin Muffins. Not only are these healthy pumpkin muffins gluten free, but they also come with an extra boost of protein and fiber!

I used 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour to make up for the oat flour I didn’t have. Did you know that 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour contains about 31 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber?

You can read the complete nutritional facts in this source. It worked as a great replacement!

Roasted Pumpkin and Brussels Sprouts

I could seriously live on roasted veggies. Since we are in Fall now, my husband decided to create this recipe for Roasted Pumpkin and Brussels Sprouts. There just aren’t enough savory pumpkin recipes out there. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sweet pumpkin recipes, but it’s nice to switch it up with a savory version now and again.

This could be a perfect side dish for your holiday parties. Or just serve it anytime. To make a complete meal, you can add chickpeas or serve over quinoa.

Flourless Pumpkin Muffins. The other day I made some Flourless Apple Muffins. They came out really well. As soon as I made them, I knew I wanted to make a pumpkin version. So I am bringing you these flourless healthy muffins.

They came out totally delicious. No flour and no refined sugar. I added some cranberries for a little burst of flavor. You can also add chocolate chips or raisins if you prefer. I also think pecans would be a nice addition. I didn’t add them because my baby girl is allergic.

These would make a great breakfast on the go. Or a snack. Either way they will be delicious. These Flourless Pumpkin Muffins are vegan and gluten free. You just need 7 ingredients!

This Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse is so decadent, no one would ever guess it was made healthier. Since everyone is all about the pumpkin recipes this time of year, I created another one for you. Chocolate and pumpkin make the best combination ever.

All you need is 4 simple ingredients and just a few minutes. I just love recipes with small ingredient lists.

Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse

This healthy pumpkin mousse is vegan, gluten free and paleo. There is very little added sugar.

I topped mine with chocolate chips, but you can definitely eat it plain too. This would also be a great frosting recipe.
