Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix the batter. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy your delicious vegan pumpkin muffins as a perfect fall treat!
