Vegan pumpkin muffins, small batch style. Recipe makes half a dozen vegan pumpkin muffins.
Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.
Healthy pumpkin muffins without eggs:
You, me and a muffin pan are doing big things these days, aren't we?
I'm half-considering starting a separate blog called 'Small Batch Vegan' because I'm having so much fun developing these vegan recipes for you!
When I want to eat dessert but feel a little less guilty about it, a vegan one does the trick. Plus, so many of you guys write in to say that you have dairy and egg allergies, and so vegan baking to the rescue!
I made these small batch vegan pumpkin muffins almost the same way as my small batch vegan banana muffins. If you like those (and based on some instagram feedback, you guys really loved 'em!), you'll love these.
They have a full teaspoon of pumpkin spice and a small handful of pumpkin seeds tossed in. I layered a few more on top because they're pretty.
Vegan pumpkin muffins, kid-friendly edition:
If you want your kiddo to eat them, you might want to lightly chop the pepitas...just a little lesson I learned when I proudly handed my Camille a vegan pumpkin muffin during snack time. She took one bite, and said she'd rather have a banana muffin. I assumed it was the pepitas, and right I was, because I made a second batch without the seeds, and she gobbled them up.
I also want to recommend making them into mini muffins if your primary goal is kid snack time. (You'll get about 12 mini muffins, and they freeze very well).
I'm getting ready to test the portability of these when we jump on a plane next week, and I will definitely report back!
Side note: I'm currently accepting tips on how to get kids to eat nuts. My Camille will drink almond milk, eat peanut and cashew butter, but will pick out any form of whole nuts both in curries and baked goods. Thoughts? Help! I have a friend whose 15-month old eats chopped cashews, so I know it's possible.
I hope you guys love these vegan pumpkin muffins. Be sure to check out my entire collection of vegan recipes for two, especially my vegan brownies! You don't want to miss those!

Yay! These look great! And if you do a blog called "Small Batch Vegan" I'd be the first reader! (Of course, I need gluten-free also, but I can make those variations).
Christina Lane says
Yay! sometimes I do vegan & GF!
Alexa says
Can you fill me in on the gluten free conversion?!
Christina Lane says
I'm guessing she made them using a 1-for-1 flour blend, like Cup4Cup? Personally, I would use a brand WITH xanthan gum.
Natasha says
Thank you for all these small batch vegan lil' treats!!
Sues says
I'm not vegan, and I want to make these. They look seriously perfect!
Eleonore says
These look delicious! Will try making them this week. Can't wait. You said they freeze well, how would you eat them once they've been frozen? Would you just take them out and let them defreeze at room temperature or would you reheat them in the oven? Thank you
Christina Lane says
Hi Eleonore! I would defrost overnight in the fridge, and then place them in the microwave for about 7-10 seconds, just until barely warm! :)
Katie says
I am loving all the vegan recipes!! Please keep them coming!
dixya @food, pleasure, and health says
i have been dreaming of these bad boys since i saw them on your IG stories..i will be trying them when i get home! cant wait, wont wait.
Aimee says
delicious! I usually bake vegan, but not small batch! I definitely should - as I eat up eating 24 muffins in 48 hours....not a pretty thing....
Christina Lane says
Hah, I feel ya, Aimee!
Alice says
Can I use an egg instead of flax seed meal?
Christina Lane says
Yes, of course :) Enjoy!
Marianna says
Hi Christina, Baked or steamed pumpkin will also work - in the same amount, right? I have 3 small pumpkins. They were just sitting here waiting for your recipe. Thanks a lot!
Christina Lane says
Ohhhh, Marianna, I'm a tad worried because homemade pumpkin puree typically has more water than the canned version. Is your pumpkin the same thickness and texture as canned pumpkin? I just don't want you to have a failure with this recipe!
Marianna says
Thanks a lot! I am sorry, I posted the question again, I couldn't find my comment.
I never got canned variety, but I thought I'd be safer just steaming it and making 'mashed pumpkin' instead of proper puree.

Camille is correct-the banana small batch muffins were awesome. Will make these over the weekend☺️
