Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 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 packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This is your flax egg.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and the flax egg. Stir until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not 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 20-25 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 a sweeter muffin, you can increase the sugar slightly.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for an extra touch.
  • These muffins freeze well for later enjoyment.
