Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs or flax eggs
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (olive or avocado oil)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (plant-based or dairy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, raisins, or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with papers or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  5. Fold in any desired mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups and sprinkle with extra toppings if you like.
  7. Bake 20–24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool slightly before serving. Store in an airtight container for several days, or freeze for later.

Notes

For dairy-free muffins, use plant-based milk and be sure your mix-ins are dairy-free. To make vegan, substitute flax eggs. Muffins stay moist and freeze well for meal prep.
