- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup 150 g gluten free flour blend
- ¾ teaspoon guar or xanthan gum omit if in blend
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
Optional Frosting
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tbs heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 12 standard muffin tins with paper liners, or lightly grease your tin if you're not using a muffin liner.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut oil and sugar. Beat one egg in at a time. Add pumpkin puree.
In a small bowl, combine flour blend, guar gum, salt, baking soda and remaining spices.
Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined. Equally divide mixture between 12 muffin tins, approx. filling slightly over half way.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Optional frosting: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and 1 Tbs heavy cream. Add more heavy cream to reach desired consistency. Place your frosting in a piping bag (or a sandwich baggie, squeezing the frosting to the corner and cutting the very tip of the corner of the baggie off ) and decorate the muffins.
