Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour (250 g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed (ca. 2-3 large oranges)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (250 g)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (80g)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (80 g)
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips (40 - 50 g)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Blend the orange juice, pumpkin puree, maple syrup and coconut sugar until smooth.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients but don't overstir. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Distribute the batter equally among 12 silicone muffin cups or a greased muffin tin. I don't recommend paper cups as oil-free muffins tend to stick to the paper.
- Bake the muffins for 20-25 min until golden at the top. Let them cool completely.
