Let the pumpkin-festivities continue!! Yes, it’s October and YES, I LOVE PUMPKIN baked goods!! I am a big believer in moist, delicious muffins so if you’re into that, too, keep reading. Some days, I’m just not sure: do I want chocolate chips on my muffins? A streusel topping? Or maybe just a simple pepita sprinkle? To solve that dilemma, I made the base mix and put different toppings on each. Variety is the spice of life, people! These muffins are vegan (could use eggs if you prefer), gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and AMAZING! Don’t believe me? Try them and let me know 😊

Ingredients
- 3 TB Coconut Oil, melted
- 1 Cup Puréed Kabocha Squash (or a dry-ish pumpkin purée)
- 1/2 Cup 100% Pure Maple Syrup
- 2 Flax Eggs ((2 TB flax meal mixed with 6 TB warm water, let sit 5–10 minutes))
- 1 TB Vanilla Extract
- 2 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
- 1 TB Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Toppings : vegan, refined sugar-free chocolate chips, pepitas, or streusel (see recipe, below)
Streusel Topping
- 1 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
- 2 tsp Tapioca Flour
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Pinch Salt
- 2 TB Coconut Oil, melted
- 1/4 Cup 100% Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees and fill muffin tins with liners or grease (or use new favorite: silicone muffin trays).
- In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients (oil through vanilla). In another bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour through salt). Gradually add dry to wet and stir until fully combined.
- Scoop into individual muffin slots (I use an ice-cream scooper to make them more uniform) and then sprinkle with desired toppings.
- Bake for 20-ish minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let sit 5-10 minutes before removing from tins and letting fully cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
For Optional Streusel Topping
- Mix dry ingredients well in a bowl, then add wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Crumble over muffins before baking.
