Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins have all the delicious pumpkin spice flavor you crave with a bonus cinnamon sugar coating! This pumpkin muffin recipe is easy to make and provides a moist and flavorful gluten-free treat during the fall season.

If you're following a gluten-free diet, you can still indulge in all the best pumpkin dessert recipes with a few easy recipe modifications.

For example, these gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, and gluten free pumpkin donuts are made with gluten-free flour and are just as delicious as the non gluten-free versions of the recipes—most people won't be able to taste the difference!

To add to my collection of gluten-free pumpkin recipes, today I'm sharing some yummy Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins with a scrumptious cinnamon sugar coating!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

These gluten free pumpkin spice muffins are super delicious in the morning with a cup of coffee! They have the perfect amount of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and sugar...all of the delicious flavors of fall! 

Plus, these Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins freeze really well— so you can have a gluten-free pumpkin treat whenever you please. Simply freeze the pumpkin muffins BEFORE adding the sugar and cinnamon coating. When you're ready to eat, remove the desired amount of pumpkin spice muffins from the freezer, pop in the microwave for 1 minute and then follow step 7 in the recipe below.

5. While muffins are baking, melt ¼ cup of butter in a shallow bowl for the coating.

6. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a separate small bowl.

7. Once muffins have completed the baking process, submerge the top of the muffin into the melted butter. Immediately dip the top into the cinnamon sugar mixture and then roll the entire muffin in the mix to give the remaining surface area a light coating.

8. Continue this process until all muffins are coated and serve.

Is Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free?

YES! All single ingredient spices are gluten-free. As long as your pumpkin spice mix contains cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, ground allspice and ground cloves (or a similar combination of spices) without added ingredients it's 100% gluten-free.
