Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 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 cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes gel-like. This is your egg substitute.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  4. In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and the flaxseed mixture.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. 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 a pinch of cardamom to the spice mix.
  • If you don’t have pumpkin puree, you can use mashed sweet potato.
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
