Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Pumpkin Muffins
  • You'll want 2 cups of blended bananas. You can measure this to ensure your bananas blend to 2 cups. If you're a little short, you can add a bit more applesauce or almond milk.
  • Don't overmix your dry and wet ingredients to avoid tough muffins.
  • You can choose to spray the inside of the muffin cups with cooking spray so the muffins easily peel away from the paper or use parchment paper muffin cups.
  • Muffins will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
