Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the wet base:

In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the Stevia1:3 until frothy. Add the roasted pumpkin purée (make sure it is well drained) and the oil. Mix well until you get a smooth, bright orange cream.

2. Incorporating the dry ingredients:

Sift the gluten-free flour over the wet mixture. Add the packet of Baking Powder , the cinnamon and the pinch of Bonsalt. Mix gently until there are no lumps of flour left.

3. The crunchy touch:

Add the chopped walnuts to the batter and fold in well with a spatula. Set aside a few to decorate the top of the muffins before they go into the oven.

4. Baking:

Pour the batter into muffin tins, filling them to 3/4 of their capacity. Place the reserved walnut pieces on top. Bake at 180ºC for 20-25 minutes. To make sure they are done, insert a toothpick; if it comes out dry, it is time to remove them.

These gluten-free pumpkin and walnut muffins are ideal for a nutritious snack. Go ahead and make them and enjoy a healthy treat that takes care of you and your loved ones!
