  1. The directions call to mix the pumpkin, sugar and brown sugar together but I don’t see any sugar except for brown sugar listed in the ingredients. Could you please let me know if there indeed is sugar besides the brown sugar in this recipe?Thanks!

    1. Yes, you can use regular flour or a combo of white/ whole wheat flour–just sub in cup for cup for the gluten free all purpose mix.

      1. There are a couple of other brands of “Nutella” that don’t have dairy. My hy-vee and local woodmans both carry some. PS – has anybody done this with gluten free flour sucessfully?

  2. Excited to try this – my daughter is gluten free and misses my pumpkin muffins (she loves nutella)
    She can have dairy so is it OK to use regular milk/nutella?

  3. This recipe is NOT dairy free. Nutella contains skim milk, whey, and soy. While soy is definitely not a dairy product, many people who have a milk protein allergy or intolerance also cannot handle soy. This is because the protein shapes of milk and soy are so similar that the receptor sites often can’t tell the difference. My son, who will be 3 next month, can’t have either due to that very issue. It sure would be nice though if he could experience childhood the way others do rather than feeling left out all the time.
    Can you offer an alternative to Nutella that would yield similar results?
    Do other recipes on this site contains ingredients that have dairy or soy in them?

    1. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, it was originally linked to a dairy free spread. Since this recipe has been updated and it’s no longer linked we recommend this dairy-free spread from Justin’s. Recipes tagged as dairy-free should be dairy-free but we do everything by hand, which as you can imagine is not an easy task ? Thank you for your understanding!

    1. There are actually hazelnut spreads that do not contain dairy (such as this one), so we do consider this recipe to be dairy free since there are accessible options made without dairy. We are aware that brand name Nutella does contain milk, which is why we list the ingredient as “hazelnut spread” versus a specific brand. If you have additional questions about this, please let us know.

  4. Glad to see you fixed the proportion of flour to pureed pumpkin. It should be closer to one c flour to one cup puree. I added some spicing (a little cinnamon, ginger etc. etc.) and baked at 425 for the first five minutes then lowered to 350 for the least of the time ..
