if you are anything like us, you’ve been craving allllll the fall treats this season-pumpkin spice, caramel apples, butternut squash, you name it.
but finding those healthy, vegan-friendly treats, that’s a whole different story!
there’s just something about autumn eats that comfort the soul.
being a vegan you shouldn’t have to miss out on that.
so we decided to whip up some vegan pumpkin muffins-
based off a recipe we found, but of course we had to put our own little spin on it too.
with this recipe we were nervous about it being dry, or the spices being too overwhelming, but we really hit the nail on the head this time and perfected the balance between a sweet and savory pumpkin flavor. these muffins are so dang good that even your non-vegan friends will LOVE em.
so give this a try, let us know your thoughts, and comment any modifications you make to this one to make it your own!
