Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

½ cup canola oil

½ cup light brown sugar(packed)

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp molasses

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 cup pumpkin puree

½ cup nondairy milk

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour

1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin/cupcake liners.

Place the canola oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, vanilla, pumpkin purÃ©e, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until smooth and combined.

Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is just combined. Do not over-mix.

Spoon an even amount of batter into each muffin liner.

Bake the muffins on middle rack of oven for 5 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 14-16 minutes.

Check to see that muffins are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Measure Pumpkin Puree Accurately 🎃
Spoon pumpkin puree into your measuring cup and level it off rather than scooping directly from the can, which compacts the puree and throws off your wet-to-dry ingredient ratio for optimal texture.
Bloom Your Spices First 🌰
Whisk the pumpkin pie spice into the dry ingredients a full minute before mixing, allowing the spices to distribute evenly and preventing concentrated pockets of flavor in certain muffins.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture just until combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of the tender, delicate crumb you want.
Fill Cups Strategically 🧁
Fill muffin cups three-quarters full and place any remaining batter in the center of empty cups to ensure even baking and prevent some muffins from browning too quickly while others remain underdone.
Test with a Toothpick at Peak Time ✓
Begin checking doneness at 18-20 minutes using a toothpick inserted in the center—it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, as vegan muffins can dry out quickly if overbaked.
