Gluten Free Pumpkin Flax Single Serve Muffin
Gluten Free Pumpkin Flax Single Serve Muffin is made in 2 minutes and tastes like a pumpkin pie cake!
Got some extra pumpkin hanging around in your fridge from either cooking a pumpkin or purchasing a can of pure pumpkin? If so using a few tablespoons for this recipe is a quick and healthy breakfast! Recently I posted a Peanut Butter Flax single serve muffin. This recipe is simply an adaption of that, but both are fast and fantastic! Who doesn’t love a breakfast that is low cal, dairy and sugar free, high in fiber and protein?? I’d say it’s a win!
You can enjoy it in the dish with a spoon or pop it out with a fork and top it with some yogurt and cinnamon. It’s a giant size muffin as you can see but very satisfying and filling so you won’t be looking for a snack before lunch. 199 calories for a healthy breakfast is pretty good in my book.
You can also change the sweetener to a tablespoon of honey or a packet of powdered stevia or 1/2 tablespoon of erythritol. If you’d rather bake it than microwave that will work as well, just takes a tad bit longer of course. Either way it’s a breakfast for any woman or man on the go!

I love all these recipes – I printed out the p butter one, chocolate one and this one – My question is, is there an easy way to convert this recipe to make a whole pan of cupcake size ones ?
I made a version this morning using a ripe mashed banana in place of the pumpkin and water that turned out amazing!! I use a tablespoon of honey in place of the Stevia and bump up the spices for my taste. It is like a fresh baked slice of banana bread!
Yum that sounds great!
And actually the banana I had was plenty sweet enough; I probably didn’t need any honey.
Could you use granulated stevia instead?
Or honey?
yes
I made this for the first time today. I had some coconut flour, and I really like the flavor it adds. Very good! Have you tries this as a dessert with cocoa?
I have, that recipe is coming soon, thank you!
Made this but put applesauce instead of pumpkin and added fresh raspberries to the muffins, I made two and the time took 5 minutes in the microwave. Husband loved them…
Thanks for sharing your changes, sounds great!
Made it this morning! it was perfect and so simple. Thank you 😉
I tweaked this using a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1tsp of coconut flour and half the stevia (my protein powder has stevia as well). And it was great!! I’m thinking you could easily trade off mashed bananas too for a banana bread version!
Yum! Great idea thanks!
Hi there, I am wanting to make this fr me and the kids get cookies but wanted to know if I could use Flax Meal?
Thanks,
Jennifer
Hi! I’m really excited to try this recipe..can I sub regular or whole wheat flour for the coconut flour? Thanks!
Yes that should be fine.
Yum!!!!!!! Definetly on my list to try!
Hi,
Wondering if I could substitute the coconut flour for a scoop of protein posder to increase the protein value of this muffin?
Thanks
Rhoda
I think you might be able to do that. Not sure as I haven’t tried it but it’s worth a shot. Please let me know if it works for you.
