These Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are the perfect fall breakfast! Made nut free and gluten free!
Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling
Pumpkin muffins filled with cream cheese are the most scrumptious breakfast for the fall and winter season. Made low carb, keto and nut-free, these are a wonderful allergy friendly muffin to share with family and friends. All the flavors of fall spices and a creamy, center will compliment your morning coffee or tea very nicely!
Nut-Free Pumpkin Muffins
Making keto recipes nut free is always a challenge, but no worries, I’ve got you covered. Using alternatives to the typical almond flour, just takes a little tweaking and experimenting. Luckily I’ve perfected working with coconut flour and have now found sesame flour as a wonderful option to almond flour as well. I’ve got many nut-free recipes in my new cookbook, Naturally Keto, over 115 nut free, as well as over 50 dairy free and another 20 that could easily be made dairy free with a simple swap.
These muffins today were the handy work of one of my favorite recipe developers and photographer, Naomi Sherman of Food Creative! After needing help this past year due to writing the cookbook, I decided I still wanted/needed help to continue providing all of you delicious, trust worthy low carb and keto recipes you have grown to love. This extra help gives me time to focus on something exciting that you will see in the new year, a Keto Course with me! No details yet for you, but soon to come!
Here are some other pumpkin breakfast recipes that are also nut free and keto:

These sound great, can i substitute almond flour or coconut flour for the sesame flour, or not really?
Hi! These look delicious! I need low fat, low carbs, high protein. I’ve never baked with sesame flour. How would the nutritional value change if I tried the recipe with soy or almond flour? Thanks!
Hi! We love your recipes! I use almond flour or coconut flour in baking, so could one of these be switched out for the seseme flour? If so, how much (just almond? just coconut? how much? or do you recommend a combo of the two flours and how much?)? Thank you!
