Ingredients
Pumpkin Muffins
- 2 Medjool dates
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of allspice
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 21 pecans (optional, topping)
- oatmeal (optional, topping)
Pumpkin Pie Filling
- 2 Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (canned)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of allspice
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º f.
- Add 4 Medjool dates to a bowl, and cover with boil water. Set aside for a few minutes.
- In a food processor, add oats and 2 of the soaked dates. Process for 2-3 minutes, until a fine flour has formed and the dates are broken up.
- Add the baking powder, sea salt, and spices. Pulse to combine.
- Into the food processor bowl (with the oatmeal mixture), add the pumpkin puree, egg whites, almond milk, and coconut oil. Pulse 4-5 times until mixed. Do not overmix.
- Spray 7 muffin cups with coconut oil or other cooking spray (alternately, use cupcake papers to line a muffin pan). Divide the muffin batter between 7 muffins (a little over halfway full).
- In a blender, add ¼ cup coconut milk and the other 2 soaked dates. Blend for 1-2 minutes until the dates are blended up. Add the rest of the pumpkin pie filling ingredients, and pulse until well combined.
- Layer the pumpkin pie filling over the muffin batter, completely filling the cups. Top with pecans (or chocolate chips!). Sprinkle lightly with oatmeal, if desired.
- Bake for 22 minutes.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. These are also amazing served cold.
