pumpkin spice muffins

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons syrup
• 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin purée
• 1 3/4 oat flour... I grind up oatmeal in the food processor
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons Jamaican spice
• 1/2 cup soft butter

1) Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan, or line the pan with papers, and grease the papers.

2) Whisk together the eggs, syrup, and pumpkin purée. Set aside.

3) Whisk together the oat flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and Jamaica all spice.

4) Add the soft butter, mixing with an electric mixer until evenly crumbly. The mixture will look like coarse sand.

5) Add the egg mixture a bit at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is fluffy.

6) Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, mounding the cups full. The batter will rise above the level of each cup; that's fine.

7) Let the muffins rest for 10 minutes.
