It's hard to be AIP and Low-Fodmap and be able to enjoy sweets. These lovely fall-spiced pumpkin muffins use tigernut and arrowroot as low-fodmap flours and maple syrup as a low-fodmap sweetener. They are a lovely, light autumn treat.

Add wet ingredients (pumpkin, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, oil) into dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

These are delicious! However, I’ve made them before (from another site), and I think that should say 1 tsp of cinnamon instead of 1 tbsp. I also think I used 1/2 cup maple syrup and no oil. Otherwise I highly recommend this recipe!
Thanks for the feedback, Annie! I’m glad you like the recipe. It’s one of my favorite! I’ve been making these with 1 tbs cinnamon and they are quite cinnamon-spice forward, which I love. You can definitely adjust down if you prefer less cinnamon. I also prefer less maple syrup since these are already sweet enough for my taste. You can reduce the syrup more too, but should add oil to replace so they don’t come out too dry. And, as you mention, you can increase the maple syrup too, but should then omit the oil.
