Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

These vegan pumpkin muffins are a perfect sweet treat for this time of the year! Make them in just half an hour! 

I rarely cook with pumpkin, not because I don’t like it…because I do, a lot actually, but because it’s so difficult to cut! 😀 I’m always afraid not to cut myself whenever I cut open a pumpkin.

Fortunately, I had some frozen baked pumpkin cubes in the freezer, so this solved the problem. I let them thaw and turned them into a creamy puree using my favorite blender – G21 Perfect Smoothie Vitality. Now all I had to choose was what to make. I had two options, pumpkin pie and pumpkin muffins. I chose the latter and I’m so happy I did! These pumpkin muffins turned out perfectly!

For these vegan pumpkin muffins, I used oat flour which I made myself, using the blender. It’s quite easy actually. Just put the rolled oats in the blender and process until they turn into flour. To replace the egg which is used in regular muffins, I used some ground chia seeds. Combined with pumpkin puree, which is a binder just like applesauce, these pumpkin muffins had the perfect texture and you can’t even tell they’re vegan! 🙂

I topped them with some crushed pumpkin seeds and wanted to sprinkle some oats on top too, but forgot about it. So I just added them after these were baked, just to look good in the photos! 🙂
