These delicious and healthy Paleo Pumpkin Muffins are made with coconut flour. They are gluten free, grain-free and dairy-free; and make a delicious breakfast or snack with pumpkin spice flavor.
All the way back in 2013 these pumpkin muffins with coconut flour ignited my love for baking with coconut flour. It was my first recipe success with this new (to me) wheat flour alternative.
The coconut flour pumpkin muffins were moist, filling and really healthy. I was newly pregnant at the time and I had a hard time with many foods, but these paleo pumpkin muffins carried me through my work days.
Since then I've made many different versions of muffins made with coconut flour. But at least every fall and whenever I have some canned pumpkin puree, I circle back to these pumpkin coconut flour muffins - my original coconut flour success.

Ingredients & Substitutions
- Coconut flour
- Tapioca flour - optional but makes for a lighter overall crumb texture; arrowroot, potato, or corn starch can be substituted
- Baking soda
- Sea salt
- Pumpkin pie spice - or a homemade blend of ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice
- Eggs
- Pumpkin puree
- Coconut oil - melted
- Maple syrup - honey, agave, or monkfruit/sugar-free syrup for low carb/keto option
- Vanilla extract
- Chopped pecans - walnuts, pepitas, or chocolate chips
See recipe box for details.
Instructions
1. In a bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
2. In another bowl combine the wet ingredients until smooth.
3. Add the dry to the wet ingredients and fold in with a spatula.
4. Optionally, stir in add-ins like nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips.
5. Divide the batter into a muffin tin lined with silicone or parchment liners.
6. Add optional toppings (nuts, seeds, chocolate chips) and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Hint: From the short video you can see that coconut flour batters can also easily be whipped up in a blender (without add-ins). Since there is no gluten, there is no risk of over mixing (or over developing the gluten), which would result in tough baked goods with wheat flour.
Storage
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container to keep from drying out. They will last 2-3 days at room temperature. At least 1 week refrigerated. And several months in the freezer.
FAQs
Yes, pumpkin is generally considered acceptable on a paleo diet as it is a natural, unprocessed food. I feature a recipe for Coconut Flour Paleo Pumpkin Muffins, which aligns with the principles of the paleo diet.
A paleo muffin adheres to the principles of the paleo diet, often made without grains, dairy, refined sugar, or processed ingredients. The Coconut Flour Paleo Pumpkin Muffins exemplify this, using coconut flour and natural sweeteners.
Using ingredients like pumpkin puree and coconut flour can contribute to the moisture in muffins. Additionally, incorporating starch like tapioca flour can help achieve a finer crumb texture, as described.
To maintain crispy muffin tops, avoid covering the muffins while they cool, as this can lead to condensation. Allowing them to cool on a wire rack and ensuring they are fully cooked through can help retain their crispness.

All the coconut flour recipe testing that started with this recipe, resulted in me writing my first cookbook. And it's full of many more delicious coconut flour recipes - even a few more coconut flour pumpkin recipes.

Lois
I had some very ripe pears, peeled, chopped and mashed that I used in place of the pumpkin purée. Agave syrup but otherwise followed the recipe. My husband says this is a keeper. Very tasty!
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
I'm so glad you could use up your fresh pears with this recipe.
Meg
Hi! I'm trying to figure out a lower-fat/calorie substitute for the coconut oil. Has anyone had success using applesauce or nonfat Greek yogurt instead, or will the texture not work? TIA!
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
Hi Meg! I don't believe this recipe has been tested with an alternative to coconut oil but it is quite common for people to replace the fat in baking recipes with an alternative like applesauce. The muffins should have the same fluffy texture but the flavour will be a little different. Let us know how it goes if you try making the muffins with an alternative. 🙂
Teresa Horgan
Thank you Regina for this delicious recipe! We love it. Been making for a long time now actually weekly. I am allergic to so much and these I can digest so well. Love them. Please add more types of coconut flour muffins. The pecans and enjoy chocolate morsels I use make them a real treat for some restricted as myself.
Thank you!
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
I am so glad you love these muffins! There are several coconut flour muffins on the blog you might like as well such as the coconut flour banana muffins and coconut flour chocolate muffins. 🙂
Lorna
Sorry I meant rapeseed oil instead of coconut oil!!
Lorna
Lovely moist, soft, fluffy muffins. Best recipe I've ever made with coconut flour - it's so tricky to work with! I'm from the UK so I used cornflour instead of cornstarch (I think they're the same thing with different names!) I also used apple puree instead of pumpkin puree, and rapeseed oil instead of sunflower.
Really pleased with the result, thanks for the recipe!
Regina | Leelalicious
So glad to hear the recipe worked out for you
Samina Taha
Hi there,
If I want to make this without tapioca flour, do I use more coconut flour (3/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup)? I recently downloaded your recipes & am so excited to try the different combinations. Thank you.
Regina
No need to add anything if you are omitting the tapioca flour. Or at most 1 tablespoon more of coconut flour.
Connie
Hi! These turned out delicious. Question - do they need to be stored in the fridge after baking? Or they are good out on the counter? Thanks!
Regina
Because they are so high in moisture, I find they spoil rather quickly on the counter (at least at warmish room temperature). But they should be fine a day or two without refrigeration. Personally I like to put them in the fridge and toast them to warm up. That toasty crisp is really awesome
Annie
This is great! I've been looking for a low sugar, low(er) carb muffin recipe and these muffins sound delicious!
I've baked with coconut flour before and I'm actually surprised that a gluten-free flour option is actually not that difficult to work with. And it tastes pretty good too!
I love my muffins fresh and I've found that Tupperware containers are the best airtight containers you can buy. When I store muffins and cookies in Tupperware in the freezer, I never get freezer burn. And on the counter, they'll keep them fresh for days. I use this link (https://www.kimbino.ca/tupperware/) and get it delivered to my door. 🙂
Carol napolitano
Hi Regina, can I just put the batter in a cake pan, and make a cake instead of muffins? I sometimes get dry results with coconut flour, that's why I'm here now, and using your recipes Thank You
Regina
I haven't tried making this recipe into a pumpkin cake, but I don't see why that shouldn't work. It probably will just take longer to bake through. Be sure not to overbake though.
Heather
Excellent! I made this exactly as written and used arrowroot powder. I even used your recipe for the home made pumpkin pie spice. I have been looking for more coconut flour recipes especially with arrowroot. I appreciate your calculating the calories/carbs. What would happen if I doubled the amount of pumpkin puree to give it a more pumpkin flavor, would they still turn out?
Lauren
I make these and doubled the recipe but my batter turned out very thick. They are baking right now and not setting at all after 17 min . Not sure what I did wrong. Is arrowroot more fence then tapioca flour? Do you have to sift coconut flour lol you do regular flour? They smell great. I’ll have to try again.
Bethany Beyer
Thanks! These really hit the spot. I was out of pumpkin spice so I used a chai blend. Now I just need to grow some pie squash like the sweet orange canned stuff! I just learned this year that the canned stuff is closer to a butternut than a sugar pumpkin shocking!
Regina
Chai spice sounds like an amazing substitute! And I can only imagine how awesome this would be with homegrown pumpkin!
Cindy
Made these today and I love them. I have been aip for 9 months now (with egg reintroduction) and have tried a few coconut baking recipes and by far this is the best one. So much like traditional muffins. Thank you
Regina
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! Comparing them to traditional muffins is like the best praise these could get 😀
Carol
I made these tonight omg they are delicious! I felt out the arrow root.
Sheri
Do you know if these would work with applesauce instead of egg??? My daughter has an egg allergy. Thanks!
Regina
Hi Sheri, I don't think applesauce will provide enough structure for these muffins, especially since there already is pumpkin puree. Other commenters have mentioned using flax or chia eggs, though I can't vouch for the success as I haven't tried it myself.
Joanna
This is my go-to muffin recipe! However, I preferred the original recipe. Would you be able to post it? Thank you!
Regina
I believe the only difference in the original was no tapioca flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder + 1/2 t baking soda for leavening
Joanna
Thank you!
Regina
You are very welcome! I am so glad you are enjoying the recipe
Nadine
So 1 teaspoon baking powder + 1/2 t baking soda replaces the 1/4 c. tapioca flour? Or should I make the coconut flour 3/4 c.? Also, can I use almond flour?
Regina
No, the same recipe also works without tapioca. No need to make any other adjustments. Also I used to use baking powder + soda but to make them paleo I use only baking soda now.
Almond flour will work differently. This recipe is specifically tested for coconut flour
Carol
I am waiting right now for them to cool so I can try one. The recipe called for pumpkin pie spice but i didn't see that on the list of ingredients so I added a half teaspoon so I Wil see how they turned out. Also I did not have enough coconut oil so I finished with avocado oil. We will see what the end result is in a while.
Regina
Thanks so much for pointing out the missing ingredient in the list. I am fixing that right now. I have successfully used avocado oil in this recipe before. Hope you enjoyed these
Rachel Lewter

I'm not always tech savvy and unfortunately this happened to be one of those times. I meant to type in that I would make the Double Chocolate Muffins first if I won the current Blendtec giveaway. Unfortunately I clicked on something before I could do that so my entry is blank, and then I couldn't get the page to go back so I could actually type in my response. Am I completely disqualified now from the giveaway? Thanks!

Kris Kringle
Hi! First, I would like to try the Coconut Flour Pumpkin Muffins. A blender could be really helpful, especially in my current kitchen, which is a little smaller than one I had several years ago.
I love pumpkin (one of the four basic food groups- ha ha - along with tapioca, chocolate, and a few other things) and am the baker in the extended family.
Even before moving to California almost 3 decades ago, I was starting to look at healthier recipes, especially with no raw or processed sweeteners.
Quick breads are my general product, so I really need to expand my repertoire! Maybe, this blender and the recipe book will help?
Thank you for putting this together.
Cheers!
Kris

I have a bag of coconut flour and have been dying for some good basic recipes! I think I would love the Mug Cakes in all the varieties. It is just Hubz and me at home most of the time now, so the little mug cakes would be perfect desserts...and healthier, too.

Regina
Thank you for the great feedback Margaret 🙂
SUSAN
WOW - THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE! ABSOLUTELY LIGHT AND DELICIOUS! I DIDN'T HAVE COCONUT OIL AND SUBSTITUTED OLIVE OIL I DID USE THE COCONUT FLOUR. ADDING THE NUTS ON TOP AT THE END, JUST COMPLETES THIS MUFFIN.
CAN'T PROMISE WHEN MY SON STOPS OVER IN A FEW DAYS, THERE WILL BE ANY MUFFINS LEFT - OH WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY? - THESE ARE TOO GOOD TO SHARE!
THANK YOU, AGAIN FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE!
jan
Hi, I'm looking forward to making these and wonder if you know if these muffins would freeze well. I haven't used coconut flour before.
Regina
Hi Jan, yes I've definitely frozen coconut flour muffins with much success. Just make sure to pack them up airtight.
Christine
I made these last night and I love them!! I added 12T of protein powder and 6T chia seeds, and an extra 1/3c pumpkin and they have an amazing texture. Trying to go paleo so thank you for making it easier!! 🙂
Regina
I am happy to hear you managed to tun them into protein muffins 🙂
Sarah
Wow, wow!! what a yummy recipe. They turned out fantastic. I didn't use the baking powder cause it doesn't follow Paleo guidelines and I just used the baking soda. This recipe made 10 muffins that were actually nice and big and fluffy. They tasted so good. Im having a hard time not going back to have another. I will def use this recipe again. thank you for posting.
Regina
So happy to hear the muffins worked for you Sarah. Thank you for the feedback on baking powder. I don't eat paleo and somehow always thought there were paleo baking powder options (like Hain brand featherlight). Will keep this in mind for future recipes.
k
Excellent recipe! I followed the directions exactly and they have a perfect texture!
Regina
So happy to hear you had great success with this recipe!
Antoinette
i really would love the carb count on these muffins especially the carrot ones. Thank you
Regina
Hi Antoinette, I added nutritional information at the bottom of the recipe box for the pumpkin muffins. I am not sure what you mean by 'carrot ones' ?
Calli
These are awesome! I couldn't believe how easy they were! Added a bit of grated ginger for some zing and hemp seeds for a bit more crunch, also honey is an awesome sub for maple syrup!
Regina
Thanks for this awesome feedback Calli. So happy you loved these muffins and your adaptations sound delicious.
Carrie
Found this recipe yesterday looking for something pumpkin-y to make for a friend. It was my 2nd attempt using coconut flour and my 1st success! Thanks for an easy and tasty recipe.
Regina
I am so happy to hear about your success with these muffins. Coconut flour can be tricky indeed 🙂
Christina
I made these today and they are delicious!! Just one question as I'm new to using coconut flour and oil in breads...I tested with the toothpick and it came out clean but I noticed the muffins are very moist- fluffy and cake like, but moist and I was worried at first that I didn't leave them in long enough but I believe this is how they are supposed to be... Is this due to the coconut oil and/or coconut flour? Thank you for this recipe!!
Regina
Your description sounds about right Christina. It's the combination of coconut flour, eggs and pumpkin that keeps them quite moist. I notice when I try to make bigger muffins and don't make 12 but only 8-9 muffins from this amount of batter they will be even moister. So I don't make them too big anymore.
In general using coconut flour will never result in the same texture as wheat flour muffins would. But we still quite enjoy these although don't have to avoid wheat due to any allergies etc. I hope you enjoy them too
Kate
These are FABULOUS! I did sub freshly grated nutmeg for the allspice and sprinkle the tops with a just a bit of turbinado. Absolutely lovely whether one is concerned about gluten or not. I'm coming to truly love coconut flour. Thanks so much for posting this.
Regina
So great to hear you enjoyed these muffins, Kate!
You substitutions sound yummy 🙂
Jacquee
OK, these have been added to my hit list! I have all the ingredients on hand, so quite possibly as early as this weekend.
Regina
Lmk how you like them 🙂
Angie@Angie's Recipes
Have been eating lots of pumpkins since late September....and I still want more. These muffins look super duper delicious!
