Ingredient Substitutions

There aren’t very many different ways that you can change up this recipe. If you make any changes to it, please let me know in the comments. 

Here are a few ingredient swaps you can make. 

• Chocolate Chips – either leave them out or use sugar-free white chocolate chips
• Almond Milk – Dairy milk or sugar-free coconut milk will work 
• Pumpkin Pie Spice – make your own with a combination of nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves. 

Best Pumpkin For Muffins

Pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling are sold next to each other in the grocery store. Be careful that you buy pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. 

The puree contains just pumpkin. The pie filling is spiced and sweetened, so it has more sugar and carbs. 

You can also make your own pumpkin puree. Slice a pumpkin into wedges and roast them until it is soft. Then, chop up the pumpkin flesh and add it to a blender or food processor.

That’s it – so easy! 

Keto Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast is the perfect time to enjoy these high-protein and nutritious muffins. Eat them with a few other keto breakfast recipes.
