These easy vegan pumpkin muffins are the perfect cozy fall treat: naturally egg-free and dairy-free, tender on the inside, and ready in just half an hour.
Add the rolled oats and chia seeds to a blender and process until they have the texture of flour.
In a bowl, combine the oat-chia flour, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix well. Stir in the pureed pumpkin (use canned, or bake and blend your own), then add the vanilla, dairy-free milk, and oil and stir into a smooth batter.
Line a muffin tin and fill each cup about ⅔ full. Top with crushed pumpkin seeds (and a sprinkle of oats, if you remember) before baking.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
Blending the rolled oats and chia together into a fresh flour gives the best tender, egg-free crumb. Top with pumpkin seeds (and a few oats, if you remember!) before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer.
