Here are some more great tips for you.
- Always use fresh ingredients for the best results. This is especially true of leavening agents such as baking soda.
- This recipe calls for pumpkin puree. Please use pumpkin puree that has no added ingredients and is not ‘pumpkin pie filling’.
- Resist the urge to fill the muffin cups more than ¾ full. Doing so can cause your muffins to bake over the edges of the cups and onto the pan, a pain to clean up.

- Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree and the sugar until creamy. Then mix in the vegan milk and the vegan egg.
