Fluffy Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

Super moist and fluffy Vegan Pumpkin Muffins made with 100% whole grain flour and packed with an entire can of pumpkin! Perfectly spiced and terrific with coffee.

Could there be a more delightful sight than a luscious batch of splendidly spiced pumpkin muffins? Well...only if they're the best pumpkin muffins ever. And these so are!

This recipe will make your casa smell like a pumpkin candle alllll day long. An edible, scrumptious candle of sorts. The best kind!

Now I originally set my sites on making pumpkin bread, not muffins. But my pal Dylan and I tested a couple batches and we couldn't get it just right. No one wants to bake a loaf for an hour an a half, now do they?

Alas, here we are today with THE best ever vegan pumpkin muffins in all the land. This is factual!

Key Ingredients

These vegan pumpkin muffins come together in no time. In fact, five of the ingredient on this list are just spices.

I didn't doctor these up with any add ons, but chocolate chips, walnuts, and pecans would all be so lovely here. Go wild.

• Whole wheat pastry flour: because it's so fluffy! You could also use all purpose flour or a 1:1 gluten-free all purpose flour, if you fancy.
• Pumpkin: we're using an entire can of pumpkin puree for epic moistness and full out pumpkin flavor. Who wants a half cup of leftover pumpkin, anyway?
• Organic cane sugar: the one and only. I haven't tried it, but I'd guess that coconut sugar would work, although they won't be as orange. I used a cup for classic pumpkin muffin goodness, but you can cut it down if you're in the market for less sweet muffins.
• Almond milk: I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but any milk (cow's, soy, etc) will do.
• Oil: I used avocado oil, but melted coconut will work as well.
• Spices: ohhhh, spices galore! I used more cinnamon than most recipes call for and I think they're simply perfect.

Tools to Make The Best Muffins

Baking these muffins at 400F helps keep them nice and fluffy. Below are some more of my go-to supplies for magnificent muffery.

1. This muffin tin is my favorite. There won't be a crumb left behind!
2. This one is fab if you want a lid for transporting.
3. Muffin scoop! For perfect portioning, every time.

Notes
