Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 large eggs , room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 oz full -fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp powdered erythritol

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick silicone liners.
  • Sift the almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt into a large mixing bowl to eliminate clumps.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract until emulsified.
  • Incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet pumpkin mixture using a spatula, folding until a cohesive batter forms.
  • Prepare the cheesecake filling by blending the softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol in a small bowl until the texture is aerated and smooth.
  • Deposit approximately 1.5 tablespoons of pumpkin batter into the base of each muffin liner.
  • Place 1.5 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling into the center of each batter-filled liner.
  • Distribute the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese filling to encapsulate it.
  • Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C) and the surface is resilient to light pressure.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to stabilize in the tin for 15 minutes before extracting and cooling completely on a wire rack.
