Spiced Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

Spiced Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

Sometimes, the best recipes come from the simplest cravings. That’s exactly how these Spiced Vegan Pumpkin Muffins came to be—on a chilly afternoon when all I wanted was something warm, spiced, and utterly comforting. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I swear by King Arthur for consistent results)
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling—trust me, there’s a difference)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (the real deal, please, for that deep, autumnal sweetness)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (extra virgin is my go-to for its subtle flavor)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened, but hey, use what you’ve got)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (the good stuff makes all the difference)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or make your own blend if you’re feeling fancy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly. Tip: Even if using liners, a quick spritz of oil prevents sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Tip: Ensure your coconut oil is cooled slightly to avoid cooking the other ingredients.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Tip: Overmixing leads to tough muffins, so a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden and spring back when touched.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Kickstart your morning with these muffins, and you’re in for a treat. They’re moist, perfectly spiced, and just sweet enough. Try them warm with a smear of almond butter for an extra indulgent twist.

These little gems are perfect for those chilly mornings when you need a warm hug in the form of a muffin.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I swear by King Arthur for consistent results)
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling, trust me on this)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (the real deal, none of that pancake syrup stuff)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted (but cooled slightly so it doesn’t cook the other ingredients)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened is my go-to, but any plant-based milk works)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (splurge on the good stuff; it makes a difference)
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice (because who has time to measure out five different spices?)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly. This ensures your muffins pop out easily.

  3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pro tip: make sure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature to avoid clumping.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Overmixing is the enemy of fluffy muffins!
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. I like using an ice cream scoop for this—it’s mess-free and ensures even sizes.

  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing. Patience is key here; glazing warm muffins can make the glaze melt off.

Moist, fluffy, and packed with warm spices, these muffins are a fall morning essential. The maple glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the pumpkin. Try serving them with a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an extra special treat.
