For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of coconut oil. Add chocolate chips for another variation.
These delightful mini muffins are bursting with the warm, comforting flavors of pumpkin spice and the subtle crunch of almonds. A perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion, they're guaranteed to disappear in minutes!
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by spraying 36 cups with canola oil cooking spray or lining with paper liners. (5 minutes)
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, cloves, and allspice until well combined. (3 minutes)
In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the pumpkin puree and melted coconut oil until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tough muffins. (3 minutes)
Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops evenly with sliced almonds. (5 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (12 minutes)
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (2 minutes)
Once the muffins are cooled, dust them generously with confectioners' sugar. (2 minutes)
