Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, almond milk, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips to the batter.
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
- The flax egg needs about 5 minutes to thicken before you add it to the wet ingredients.
