Healthy Vegan and Gluten-free Pumpkin Muffins

Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons flax + 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/3 cup almond milk + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix*
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons tahini or melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or nuts/dried fruit

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease or line a muffin tin.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flax and water. Set aside to thicken. In a measuring cup, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the oat flour, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Sift to combine.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Add tahini (or coconut oil) last then whisk until thoroughly combined, making sure there are no large lumps. Add the flax and stir a few times.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet then use a spatula to fold everything together until just combined. Make sure there are no pockets of flour but be careful not to over-stir. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts or dried fruit.
  • Fill each muffin tin 3/4 of the way full then bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a knife comes clean from the center. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes

*My favorite pumpkin puree is by the brand Farmers Market. It has a thinner texture than other brands. Depending on the brand you use the water content may vary. You may have to adjust the liquid accordingly and possibly add a few tablespoons of milk.
Leftovers are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
