preview

Jump to RecipePrint RecipeThese pumpkin cassava flour cupcakes are Paleo friendly, dairy free, nut free and made with cassava flour.&nbsp; This is a moist cupcake recipe, slightly sweet and full of pumpkin flavor.&nbsp; If you're not already in the fall spirit, these healthy Paleo pumpkin cupcakes are sure to do the trick!I don't know about you all, but pumpkin is one of my favorite fall flavors.&nbsp; Well, it's actually one of my favorite flavors when it comes to any baked good!&nbsp;Knowing that, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I am kicking off September with this easy cassava flour cupcake recipe.If you think cupcakes have to be unhealthy, think again.&nbsp; These Paleo pumpkin cupcakes are most definitely healthy!&nbsp;This is why I love Paleo baking: you can create desserts that are healthy enough to share at the breakfast table!And these aren't just healthy cupcakes, but they're also nut-free.&nbsp; I know some schools require nut free items since nut allergies are quite common these days.&nbsp; So, this is a great Paleo cupcake recipe without almond flour and that's perfectly acceptable for school functions.Like I said, all of the ingredients in this cassava cupcake recipe are gluten free and Paleo friendly. Here's a list of what you need for the cupcakes:Only 10 simple ingredients are needed for these easy cassava cupcakes.&nbsp; They're dairy free, so made without butter.&nbsp; In addition, they are sweetened with maple syrup rather than refined white sugar or brown sugar.&nbsp; To lower the sugar content, feel free to substitute the maple syrup with a liquid, calorie-free sweetener such as THIS one.The oil I used to make these cupcakes was olive oil.&nbsp; However, avocado oil would be a great alternative.I recommend Otto's cassava flour...the BEST brand of cassava flour in my opinion. It's the only cassava flour I bake with because of it's superior quality and high standards.These pumpkin cupcakes are made in one bowl, baked for 20 minutes, cooled and frosted.First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.&nbsp;Next, add all wet ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl. This includes the pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla and apple cider vinegar. Whisk the wet ingredients until smooth.Then, add in the dry ingredients. This includes the cassava flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until smooth.Scoop batter into a lined muffin pan, making 9 cupcakes.&nbsp; (About ¼ cup batter per muffin slot.) Then, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.Remove the cupcakes from the oven and cool to room temperature on a wire cooling rack.&nbsp;Once the cupcakes are cooled, they can be frosted. (I recommend frosting just prior to serving.)This recipe makes 9 cupcakes and they are best stored in the fridge after 24 hours.First off, cupcakes need frosting.&nbsp; I mean, that's basically what classifies a cupcake as a cupcake rather than a muffin.&nbsp;My favorite type of low sugar, Paleo frosting is made with coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract and a little tapioca flour (for texture purposes). That's the recipe that I used for these gluten free pumpkin cupcakes (see recipe card for full details).I also have a few other frosting recipes that I frequently use and they can be found in the following blog posts:To add a bit of natural color to the frosting, try using superfood powders.&nbsp; Here are some easy ideas:Cupcakes can look pretty naked with just white frosting.&nbsp; Some great topping options include:These cassava flour pumpkin cupcakes were decorated with organic cinnamon, bee pollen and pumpkin seedsStore bough cupcakes, you know the ones you see at your local grocery store that are loaded with refined sugar and pumped full of hydrogenated oils?&nbsp; Yeah, those don't need to be refrigerated.&nbsp; They are engineered to be shelf-stable.&nbsp; But, they're also horrible for your health!These paleo pumpkin cupcakes are not like that in the least.&nbsp; I recommend refrigerating them after 24 hours.&nbsp; They will last overnight in an air-tight container.&nbsp; But, after that, I recommend keeping them in the fridge so they don't spoil.Also, I don't recommend frosting and decorating the cupcakes until they're ready to eat.&nbsp; If you use my homemade coconut cream frosting, it does not last long at room temperature (a few hours is fine). In the fridge, the frosting will harden - still tastes great but isn't ideal for serving.This truly is the best Paleo pumpkin dessert recipe.&nbsp; Healthy enough to serve at the breakfast table, depending on what frosting you use, but also perfect for a satisfying dessert.&nbsp;I'll definitely be making these again come October.&nbsp; They'll make a great Paleo Halloween cupcake!PrintPaleo pumpkin cupcakes made with cassava flour and sweetened with maple syrup.&nbsp; Grain free, gluten free, dairy free and nut free!Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients.Add in dry ingredients, whisk.Scoop about ¼ cup batter per cupcake into a lined muffin pan (9 cupcakes).Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.Remove from oven and cool on cooling rack to room temperature before frosting.Combine coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla in a small mixing bowl.&nbsp; Whisk until smooth.Add in tapioca flour.&nbsp; Whisk until smooth.Place frosting in a plastic baggie and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.Cupcakes best stored in fridge.&nbsp; I recommend waiting to frost the cupcakes until just before they're served.*For best results, use Otto's cassava flour and measure by weight (given in grams)**Just the cream from a can of full fat coconut milkKeywords: pumpkin cupcakes, cassava flour cupcakes, paleo cupcake recipe, nut free grain free cupcakes, pumpkin desserts, paleo dessert, grain free cupcakes« Roasted Cilantro-Lime CarrotsPaleo Teddy Grahams (Grain Free Graham Crackers) »Made these last night and used honey instead of maple syrup. Also, we ate them without the frosting, and they were SO good! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!ReplySo moist and easy to make!ReplyThe best! Appreciate your hard work. These were moist and yummy.ReplyThis has become my staple recipe for cupcakes and muffins! So delicious! Thank you for creating this!ReplyI just made these for my family. I needed a gluten free recipe and these are delicious. I added some chocolate chips which pushed it over the top. Then, I remembered that I had some cinnamon chips leftover from another recipe and should have used that...next time. Everyone really enjoyed these....thanks!ReplyDo you think it would work without the eggs?ReplyCan I make these using flax eggs? Thank you!ReplyThese were amazing! Very fluffy. I used 1/2c plus 3Tb cassava flour. I have a scale and 1/2 plus the 2 that the recipe called for didn’t make 105 g and I didn’t want to keep going up with flour. I also used 2TB Mankato maple syrup and 2 TB regular Maple syrup to lessen the calories. I also replaced olive oil with light canola oil butter (less calories). Thank you for this yummy recipe. I’m new to cassava flour. I ate them without the frosting. Curious if I could replace the eggs with flax seed fake egg?ReplyThese were SO easy and delicious! I didn’t do the frosting, they were perfect even without it—such great texture and pumpkin flavor and just lightly sweet. Thank you for this recipe, I’m hooked!ReplySoooo happy I came across your recipe! Finally, a muffin that isn't gummy. These were delicious even without the frosting (though I can't wait to try one with it). I've got lots of pumpkin so they will definitely be made regularly...and next time I'll be careful NOT to accidentally double the salt. Thank again for the recipe!!ReplyI wanted to add that (by weight) my flour measurement came out to a hint over 3/4 cup cassava. Turned out beautifully though so I'll just go by weight from now on.ReplySorry, one more thing...I used Bob's Red Mill cassava flour.ReplyWinner!! Great recipe, thank you! I replaced the maple syrup with Michele Butter Pecan Syrup and Light agave. Used Coconut Milk Reddi Whip instead of the frosting because I didn’t have the original ingredients. Soooo good!ReplyLove this recipe! Thanks for sharing. I was struggling with trying to find a dessert for me(paleo) and my friend (nut, xylitol &amp; stevia allergies) and this was a huge hit. The cake portion turned out amazing. I always like when cake isn’t too sweet.I did have trouble with the icing. I used Mae Ploy coconut cream, doubled the tapioca flour &amp; whipped for 10 mins. It still wasn’t a very thick consistency. Any advice?ReplyThese are incredibly moist. Do you have a coconut cream recommendation? My icing is a bit too runny, but I plan to put the ice cupcakes in the fridge. Thanks!ReplyThese were great! I used the cupcake recipe to start and made a different frosting. I made honey caramel to fill them. Will definitely be keeping these in my recipes!ReplySign up for my mailing list to get early access to discounts, new recipes and more!SUBSCRIBE HERECereal is typically anything but healthy... not Lovebird!
