- In a large bowl, sift together almond flour, baking powder, and spices. Put bowl to the side.
- Cream together cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and sugar substitutes until light and fluffy. It’s recommended to use a motorized mixer for this step, if available.
- Mix in pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Slowly add in bowl of sifted dry ingredients and eggs to creamed mixture. Scrape bowl sides in between each addition.
