It's officially pumpkin spice season! Try these low-carb Pumpkin Muffins for your fix of fall flavors!

Nutrition Information:
Serving: 1muffin | Calories: 156cal | Carbohydrates: 6g | Protein: 5g | Fat: 12g | Fiber: 3g | Sugar: 6g

What You'll Need:
▢ 4 large eggs
▢ ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
▢ 4 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
▢ 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite (equals about ⅓ cup sugar)
▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
▢ 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
▢ 6 tablespoons coconut flour (44 grams)
▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free if needed)

Directions:
▢ Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line 6 muffin cups with foil or silicone liners and spray the liners with oil. You can use well-greased paper liners, but that would increase the risk of sticking.
▢ In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, stevia, vanilla, and cinnamon.
▢ Whisk in the coconut flour, mixing patiently until very smooth. Finally, mix in the baking powder.
▢ Using an ice cream scoop, pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
▢Bake until set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 22-25 minutes
▢Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely before enjoying. Texture improves when they reach room temperature.

Helpful Hacks and Substitutions:
▢ We prefer to use foil liners when baking with coconut flour. Coconut flour muffins tend to stick to paper liners, and even to silicone liners. But if you use greased foil liners, they don't stick.
▢ Coconut flour and almond flour behave differently in baked goods. Almond flour would not be a good substitute for this recipe.
▢ The Stevia glycerite formulation nearly eliminates the bitter aftertaste typical of other stevia products, but you can experiment with replacing the stevia with ⅓ cup of your favorite granulated sweetener. If you do, check the batter. You might need to add a little water if it's too dry.

Breakfast Ideas: Muffin-Tin Omelets with Feta & Peppers

Serving size: 2 omelets
Per Serving: 226 calories; 12.7g protein; 6.7g carbohydrates; 1.3g dietary fiber; 3.7g sugar; 16.7g fat

What you'll need:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¾ cup diced onion
¼ teaspoon salt
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
8 large eggs
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup low-fat milk
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives

How to do it:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and half of the salt; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and oregano; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Whisk eggs, feta, milk, black pepper and the remaining salt in a large bowl. Stir in spinach, olives and the cooked vegetable mixture. Divide among the prepared muffin cups.
4. Bake until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

Wrapped individually in plastic wrap, the cooked omelets can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw, if necessary, and remove plastic wrap. Wrap in a paper towel and microwave each omelet on High for 20 to 30 seconds.
