These spekulatius-spiced pumpkin muffins are moist and fresh in an airtight container for a few days, and freeze fairly well. They are the perfect treat for an autumn afternoon. If you don’t have spekulatius spice, use pumpkin pie spice or just cinnamon instead.

- Preheat the oven 190C/375F. Line 12-14 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift ground whole grain spelt flour, refined spelt flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together in a mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the roasted pumpkin puree, spekulatius spices, coconut oil, and coconut milk until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix or muffins will be tough. Fold in chopped candied ginger and 100 grams of salted peanuts.
- Divide the batter into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with some peanuts. Bake on the upper oven rack for 25 to 30 minutes until nicely golden brown. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired, and serve warm.

So happy to see pumpkin mixed with coconut. It's such a great pair! We made bread last year with pumpkin and coconut. Excellent.
Wow Angie, these sound like the perfect fall treat. I haven't heard of Spekulatius, I want some though. I might have to stick with the pumpkin pie spice. I have some baking to catch up on this week. Hope you have a good one.

Mindblowing muffins, wish to grab some and having rite now.
I saw pumpkins in the farmers' market for the first time last Saturday, the sure sign that fall is here. Love all the flavors you have combined in these lovely muffins, Angie.
A definite keeper for the fall - love pumpkin in baked goods. As always, I just want to grab one from the photo!
The beautiful color and flavor of Fall ! Such a wonderful combination of flavors !
I've never heard of spice, I'll have to google it. Very lovely recipe.
I have butternut squash but not pumpkin, imagine they are interchangable.
I love candied ginger and these pumpkin muffins look wonderfully delicious.
I love pumpkin in anything so I know I would love these beauties ... Happy Monday :-)
What a wonderful way to welcome the fall season. These sound delicious and I would love to have one with my coffee this morning. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Angie - you always have the most interesting ingredients. These sound like fall / autumn and are absolutely beautiful.
Another very healthy recipe, I see pumpkins are beginning to make their appearance in the western blogs again:D
These look wonderful- seasonal flavours, healthy flour, and delicious!
I've never heard of spekulatius spices! These look absolutely amazing, though. Fall makes me want pumpkin all the time! :D
Now THAT is a muffin! Wooo!
spekulatius is something quite new to me. These muffins look perfect ! I smell Fall :)
Peanut and ginger,two of my favorite ingredients,looks perfectly Yummy with drizzled of caramel sauce !!
I was actually just looking at the little bit of ground spelt I have left wondering what I should do with it. . .now I know!
I have no idea what Spekulatius spices are, but since you said they could be substituted with pumpkin spice, I'll assume they are similar? Delicious looking muffins! They certainly do look moist and I love the glaze dripping off the top!
It is pumpkin season alright and these muffins look extra good looking and the spices make them irresistible!
They look amazing!
Dear Angie, These little beauties sound and look delicious. They are perfect for fall. It is hard to believe that fall is upon us. Blessings dear. Catherine xo

The ginger would give this muffin such a nice little kick... Love nuts in muffins too:)
Mmmm....I love all the autumnal baking going on! Your pumpkin muffins look divine...love that beautiful drizzle And the zing from the candied ginger :)

I have to google that spice you have used in these muffins, quite interesting product. The candied ginger and the salted peanuts on top looks wonderful.
All wonderfully yum flavors here -- especially the pumpkin ;)
I love the beautiful orange colour of these muffins and how healthful they are with spelt and raw sugar.
Hey Angie, I'm yet to try the taste of pumpkin, but these muffins look delicious. I guess I have to introduce myself to pumpkins soon :)
Everytime I walked past the Bakery isle and saw Spelt Flour, your bake came to mind... and looks like I'll have to pick up a packet and try these gorgeous bake soon :D

Spekulatius cookies are traditional Christmas spice cookies in Germany. Spekulatius spice is a mix of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, coriander, anis, nutmeg, ginger, white pepper.
I have been thinking of making muffins and these do look good. Love the idea of candied ginger in them.
i love anything with ginger! yum!
I should not have looked at this while sitting here, hungry for an afternoon snack. These look amazing!
pumpkin and coconut~~ love that combo!! perfect for fall!
