Description
Pumpkin, orange and chocolate – united in a moist and sweet muffin. These vegan orange-pumpkin muffins are oil-free and refined sugar-free and make a great snack for this fall season (updated: 11.26.18).
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups spelt flour (280 g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice, freshly squeezed ((ca. 5 large oranges))
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120 g)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (80g)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar (110 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.
