Egg Free, Dairy Free Pumpkin Muffins
My Pumpkin Bread recipe has become really popular recently. I think it’s because we all start craving a little pumpkin goodness when the weather cools down and the leaves start changing colors. Well, cuddle up in your blanket and enjoy some of these warm Pumpkin Muffins. I don’t think I’ve hidden my feelings on muffins. I LOVE them! This latest creation continues to check off my 3 MUSTS for muffins. They’re light, fluffy, and moist. Oooh… I need another one right now.

Ha ha…. thanks, Amber! It’s all about making things healthier without people even knowing.
Oh these look SO good! I’m with amber though, I wish I were better at putting a healthy twist on my recipes!
Thanks, Jesseca! I’ve been tweaking recipes for years now. It’s become second nature. I LOVE food and don’t ever want to compromise on flavor though.

I love whole wheat pastry flour! I think works so much better in baking. These look amazing!
I love whole wheat pastry flour too, Debra! I don’t think I could bake with regular whole wheat flour ever again.

Yum, yum, YUMMY!! These look great – PINNING!
Thanks, Yvonne! They didn’t last very long.
I love muffins. These look so good – pinned.
Can you use pumpkin pie filling?
You could use pumpkin pie filling, Rebecca, HOWEVER pumpkin pie filling has added salt, sugar, and other additives which make it less healthy.
I was wondering why most of your muffin recipes do not have eggs in them. Would an egg improve the texture in any way? I haven’t tried the recipe yet, so I can’t compare…just wondering.
Great questions, Janelle! Most my baking is vegan (no dairy milk and eggs). They turn out really light, fluffy and moist. You don’t need an egg, BUT you could try it and let me know how it turns out! This recipe does make 1 dozen. Thanks for visiting, Janelle.
Is this recipe for 1 dozen?
How many calories are they?
Hey Cindy, I don’t have calorie info on my recipes just yet. I believe in eating lots of healthy, nutrition packed foods and don’t about counting calories.
