Cook Time
| Prep time | Cook time | Ready in | Yields |
|---|---|---|---|
25 min | 20 min | 45 min | 18 muffins |
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons flax, ground
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 cup sugar (add 1/2 cup more if you want sweeter)
- 1/2 cup oil (I used coconut)
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 3 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon banking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Spices:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Optional:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Start by preparing the flax egg. In a small bowl, mix the water and the ground flax. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease the muffin pans.
- In a large bowl add the sugar and oil. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. In the same bowl, add the flax egg and the pumpkin puree. Mix well.
- Next, incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. The batter should be quite sticky and almost dough-like.
- Optional step: Fold the chocolate chips or raisins into the batter.
- Half fill your prepared muffin pans with the batter, and bake for 20 minutes in the oven. Let cool before taking the muffins out of their molds. Enjoy them plain or with margarine.

I love pumpkins. However, I have never incorporated pumpkin in muffins. I wouldn't mind trying your recipe, for sure. Your recipe seems easy to follow, and the muffins look appetizing! Thanks for sharing.
