Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 201kcal
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or a blend of ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup oil I used canola oil
- ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk I used soy milk
Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC. Grease a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners
Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl (flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt) and mix until well combined.
Add the pumpkin puree, oil, and non-dairy milk. Stir until well combined.
Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a cooling rack, then serve.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room-temperature wet ingredients like pumpkin puree or non-dairy milk for a smoother batter, promoting even baking and perfectly fluffy muffins.
- Use Muffin Liners or Grease Your Pan: Always use muffin liners or grease your pan to prevent sticking. Vegan butter or coconut oil are effective, but liners are convenient
- Batch and Freeze: Consider doubling or even tripling the recipe, then freeze the extra muffins for later. This way, you can enjoy a muffin whenever you like, and it's a time-saving option.
- Avoid Over-Mixing: Be cautious not to over-mix the batter, as it can result in dense and rubbery muffins. Mix gently until just combined for a lighter texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Avoid over-baking for moist, delicious muffins. Bake until golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
