Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing the cups.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, large eggs, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and fold until just combined.
  5. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips into the muffin batter.
  6. Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when the muffins are ready.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
