I don’t know about your family, but my family loves a special muffin for breakfast. Not every time that I throw things together does it work out as perfectly as these did, but these muffins are perfect! They work out to being a great way to use up that leftover can of pumpkin that’s just setting in your fridge, and that’s exactly how I created these pumpkin spice muffins.
Making one-bowl pumpkin spice muffins
Now, back in the day when I would bake with my grandma everything was separated into 2 different bowls. Sometimes that’s necessary, but for the most part, I’ve found I can mix it all up in one bowl! For this method to work just right, I like to mix together all the dry ingredients first. Once the dry is mixed together pour in and mix in the wet. Works like a charm. Remember, you don’t want to overmix muffins. They won’t be fluffy and light!
Can this recipe be made dairy-free?
You can defiantly veganize this recipe.
- Replace the butter with ⅓ cup of melted refined coconut oil.
- Replace the eggs with chia eggs (1 tablespoon chia seeds and 3 tablespoon water). Do the same for the topping!
- Replace the milk with your favorite plant based milk. If it were me I would choose coconut milk!
