Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. Prepare the flax egg by whisking together the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. 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 pecans or walnuts to the batter.
  • Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
