Pumpkin Latte Muffins

jump to recipe

Pumpkin latte lovers, now you can enjoy your favorite beverage in muffin form! You can even double-down on your pumpkin latte love and pair these muffins with your spiced coffee beverage of choice. 

Alone, these muffins are refined-sugar-free, sweetened by maple syrup and vanilla, and naturally-sweet pumpkin. You can choose to add the coffee glaze on top or not, but it does help to drive home the coffee flavor and add just a little extra sweetness. 

Now you don’t have to drive to the coffee shop to enjoy a seasonal treat. Enjoy a Pumpkin Latte Muffin with your morning beverage on Halloween morning, or as a pick-me-up later in the day to keep up with excited trick-or-treaters!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. sea salt

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder 

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/3 cup melted coconut oil

3/4 cup strong brewed coffee

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract 


For glaze (optional):

1 cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp. strong brewed coffee 

1/8 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, or grease each muffin cup lightly, and set aside. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut oil, coffee, egg, and vanilla. 
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. 
  5. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to pour batter into prepare muffin tin, dividing equally among the 12 cups.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees F for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool in the pan 15 minutes, and then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. 
  7. While muffins are cooling, prepare your glaze. This step is optional, but it helps drive the coffee flavor home! Whisk coffee and powdered sugar, until powdered sugar is completely dissolved. Once muffins are cooled, drizzle with coffee glaze. 
  8. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

So good. I added several drops of liquid smoke and a little sweet paprika since I was slightly short on smoked.

I made this last night and we loved it! It ended up being rather warm here, so I did it in my air fryer rather than the oven and used extra cilantro rather than the 1/2 c parsley in the sauce, but otherwise followed the recipe to a T. The spice blend was SO good, and the spices plus the sauce made for such a flavorful dish, which can be tough with the blander base ingredients - potatoes, cauliflower, chickpeas. I had everything on hand, except for the cauliflower, which I went out and bought, and the parsley, hence me using extra cilantro instead. For anyone who is on the fence because there weren’t any reviews, please try this. There is so much flavor, but it’s still light and fresh. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples and it’s super easy to make. Thank you - this will be going into our rotation! 😊
