These muffins bring out all the fall flavors of pumpkin and warm spices. The walnut streusel adds a nice buttery crunch on top. They are gluten and grain free and are sweetened with only banana, dates and a bit of honey.
The addition of coconut flour is crucial to avoid these muffins being too mushy due to the added pumpkin purée. The coconut flour absorbs some of the extra moisture to give almond flour-baked goods a better texture. It is also a great source of added insoluble fiber which promotes a healthy digestive system.
