-
1/3 cup
pumpkin puree
-
1/4 cup
maple syrup
-
1/3 cup
coconut oil, melted
-
3
eggs, whisked
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon
coconut flour
-
1/2 tablespoon
cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon
nutmeg
-
1 pinch
ground cloves
-
1 pinch
ginger powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1 pinch
salt
Directions
-
Heat oven to 190 C - 350 F and line 12-hole muffin tin with deep silicone muffin cases.
-
Put the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and mix together.
-
In another bowl, whisk coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, ginger, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
-
Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well.
-
Use an ice cream scoop to fill with batter half of the silicone baking cups. The mixture will be quite wet.
-
Dot the top of each muffin with 5-6 blueberries and cover the rest of the top with pecans.
-
Bake for 35 - 40 mins or until firm and springy to the touch. A skewer inserted in the centre of a muffin should come out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Put the squares of dark chocolate in a small bowl and place in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, then mix until smooth; it has to be pourable. Fill the piping bag and... let your creativity do the rest!
-
Let cool for 15 minutes or until the chocolate has thickened.
