Tis the season for all of the pumpkin spice things.
I’m actually not very into anything pumpkin spice. Nikki isn’t really either, though she loves pumpkin bread. She wants to find a version that she can eat. Recently, she did find Simple Mills Pumpkin Almond Flour Muffin & Bread Mix. Not only is the mix certified gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, it’s also free of corn, grains, gums, and emulsifiers. It is also non-GMO Project Verified and paleo-friendly.
As you can gather from the title, the mix can be used for muffins or loaf bread. The following is for the muffins.

I have a recipe very similar to this that i just love! You cant even tell the difference. And so much healthier!
You really can’t tell a difference and the fact that it’s healthier, makes it even better!
These pumpkin muffins look so delicious. Usually pumpkin is not savored much as vegetable but this way I am sure pumpkin will be relished by taste buds.
It was really good! The pumpkin wasn’t overpowering at all.
They certainly look delicious and so moist. I wonder does the almond flour give it a distinctive taste?
The pumpkin was the strongest flavor and the almond flour didn’t seem to alter the taste. Of course, it could be different for everyone’s taste buds.
It sounds like a delicious recipe! They turned out very pretty. I love muffins but I haven’t tried pumpkin flavored ones before.
They are good, but they’re pumpkin and not pumpkin spice. It’s slightly disappointing, but still yummy overall.
Oh my goodness, so little ingredients! I love these types of recipes and the muffins look SO good!
It’s hard to believe that something so yummy only has 4 ingredients! The recipe was so easy and the muffins were good!
Well, these muffins look super good! I love to hear about more gluten-free options. Though I am not sure I can get this brand here, so I will have to look at a similar one!
I’m not sure if Thrive Market or Vitacost deliver to you, but they are both online stores that have many brands and food products that are gluten-free. Enjoy Life is another good brand that has gluten-free products.
Wow those loooked really moist! I find that’s making gluten free treats such as muffins or cake it can taste a little dry.
We were surprised how moist they were, especially with only 4 ingredients. My sister was a little heavy handed with the coconut oil and thinks that might have played a part in making it so moist.
It looks really delicious! I’m pretty sure that my kids will love it! I’ll have to try this.
It’s really yummy! Just a heads up: it’s not pumpkin spice, it’s just pumpkin, so don’t be disappointed by no spice flavor. 😀 Also, they’re best within the first couple of days after baking.
90 calories is pretty good for a muffin. I also like that the recipe is very easy to follow!
We were pleasantly surprised that it was only 90 calories. It was easy to follow and only has a few ingredients. Those are some of the best recipes. 🙂
Yes! But how does it taste LOL. Videos and blog posts about food always makes me hungry and this looks delicious! I need to try it out 🙂
LOL, they’re good. It’s pumpkin muffin and not pumpkin spice muffin, so there’s no spice flavor that you’d expect. If you know that going in, you won’t be as disappointed. I always get hungry when I write food related blogs. I’m hungry now replying to comments. lol
oooh yum! will have to try this one!
Let me know if you do and what you think!
Hello! I’m new to your blog! and I’m also new to all the gluten-free recipes, here where I live is not easy to find ready-made products free of gluten.
Hi Nati! It definitely can be difficult to find ready-made products with ingredients you need to avoid. We were pretty happy to find to find it. I’m not sure where all Vitacost and Thrive Market deliver to, but they’re online stores that have many items that are gluten-free. They both have this muffin mix. I have other recipes on my blog that you might be interested in. 🙂
Hahahaha I love your caption “get in my belly!” I always feel that way after making anything. It’s so exciting to cook or bake something.
LOL that’s all I could think when I saw them. I’m pretty limited in the kitchen, so my sister did the baking and I took pictures and wrote about it. 😀
Wow!! Another good dessert was what I discovered. I’m gonna take down the recipe and try this later for my kid’s snack treat.
That’s great! Let me know what you guys think! BTW, we discovered that they taste best when eaten within the first couple of days since they’re the freshest then.
These actually sound quite nice. My friend can’t eat gluten due to allergies so o may try these for her.
I think she’ll like them! Let me know if you make them and how they turn out. 🙂
Sounds like a perfect recipe for me! I am not particularly great at baking, otherwise I would definitely be trying this one out.
I’m not either. My sister did the actual baking and I took pictures and wrote about it. lol
They look so healthy and delicious….gluten-free dishes are so hard to find but you make it so simple to try these recipes..
They also taste good! We’re all about simple recipes. 🙂
OH, these Pumpkin Muffins look so incredible. It blows my mind that you were able to create a recipe that is paleo friendly and soy free!
And they taste good!
These would be perfect for my mother in law. She loves pumpkin and has been trying to eat healthier. I’ll have to let her know!
Please do! Let me know if she makes it and what she thinks. 🙂
This recipe sounds so easy to make and the muffins look so good! I would love to try making it and eating it while reading a good book afterwards!
That sounds like a wonderful idea!
