Vegan Whole Wheat Fat-Free Maple-Kissed Pumpkin Muffins Recipe

  • Written by Lindsay S. Nixon

This recipe comes from my e-cookbook Pudge-Free Holidays. It uses up left over pumpkin or sweet potato and brings Autumn right to life with a touch of cinnamon and a kiss of maple. A similar version (though slightly different and a bit simpler) is in my cookbook.

Description:

This recipe originally appeared in my discontinued e-cookbook, Pudge-Free Holidays. A similar, but simpler, version is in my cookbook (it's called Maple Muffins). 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease or spray a muffin tin or paper liners, if using.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.

Add pumpkin (or sweet potato) apple sauce, sugar, and maple syrup, then stir until just combined.

Spoon mixture into muffin cups 3/4 full.

Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Why Happy Herbivore?

Because I get home cooks. Like you, I want to eat healthy but I don't want to spend a fortune, face long hours in the kitchen or drive all around town to get ingredients. And I want every meal to be just as nutritious as it is delicious.
