Best The Best Vegan Pumpkin Muffins Recipes

1-BOWL VEGAN PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (174 C) and lightly grease a standard size muffin tin (will make 9-10 muffins as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Dust with gluten free flour and shake out excess.
• Prepare flax eggs by mixing flaxseed meal and water in a large mixing bowl. Let set for 5 minutes.
• Add banana and mash, leaving just a bit of texture.
• Add pumpkin purée, muscovado sugar, maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla extract and whisk for one minute.
• Stir in baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, and mix. Add water and whisk once more.
• Add almond meal, gluten-free oats, and gluten-free flour blend and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
• Divide batter evenly among 9-10 muffin tins (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), filling all the way full (I like big muffins!).
• Quickly rinse your mixing bowl and then add crumble ingredients. Mash ingredients together with a fork or your hands until crumbly like wet sand. Generously top muffins with streusel.
• Bake for 27-32 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick or knife comes out completely clean. It's better to slightly over-bake these than under-bake because the gluten-free flour blend takes longer to cook all the way through.
• Let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then gently remove and cool completely on a cooling rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
• Once completely cooled, store in a covered container at room temp for 3-4 days, though best when fresh. Freeze for longer term storage.

VEGAN PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.​
• In a small bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
• In a large bowl combine pumpkin puree with both sugars, mixing to combine. Add apple sauce, oil, and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a uniform batter has formed. Be careful not to over-mix.
• Fill muffin molds 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• To top the muffins, combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Lightly brush each top with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
