Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted) or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Vegan chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
