My Vegan Pumpkin Molasses Muffins are fluffy, moist, sweet and perfectly spiced for a crisp autumn day.
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ⅓ cup canola oil or melted vegan butter
  • 1 flax egg
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk
  • Rolled oats or chopped nuts for sprinkling on muffins
Instructions
  1. Preheat an oven to 375 F and line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, molasses and sugar together. Mix well before adding the oil (or melted butter), flax egg and non dairy milk. Whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into that well. Stir gently with a spatula, using folding motions to bind the wet and dry ingredients together until it is just combined.
  5. Portion the batter out into the prepared muffin tin and sprinkle some rolled oats or chopped nuts on top for decoration. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean and the muffin springs back to the touch.
  6. Serve warm, with a hot cup of tea and enjoy!
