Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ cup softened vegan butter
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1½ tbsp melted vegan butter (for crumb topping)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (for crumb topping)
  • Optional: ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions

  1. Make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the crumb topping ingredients: ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, melted vegan butter, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Stir until crumbly and set aside.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the muffins: 1¾ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup softened vegan butter, ½ cup white granulated sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin puree, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ cup non-dairy milk until fully combined.
  4. Combine dry and wet mixtures: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. If you’re using them, fold in the optional vegan chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Fill muffin liners: Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup about ¾ full with the muffin batter.
  6. Add crumb topping: Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping generously over each muffin.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious muffins!

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter. Don’t overmix to avoid dense muffins.
