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!

Monica says
What can I substitute for flax seed, look delicious
Christina Lane says
Are you vegan? You can use 1 large egg. Or, an egg made from chia seed.
Genny says
Yes, please continue with vegan recipes -- our daughter has been having dairy issues out of the blue lately, and seems to be ok eating vegan! Thank you!
Marianna says
Can I use mashed pumpkin instead of a can? Same amount approximately?
Thanks, Christina, for a great recipe, and a reasonably small batch.
Joyce says
I just made these. My husband loves them! They're so easy and so good. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes.

Hi! About your daughter and nuts. It could be a texture issue. We experienced this with our daughter, and it was a VERY long time before she was willing to eat anything outside her texture comfort zone.
Perhaps cutting the nuts really small might help - not so much to hide them in food as it is to reduce the feel of the nuts in her mouth. That never worked with my daughter, who wouldn't willingly eat anything that didn't have the texture of al dente pasta or chicken nuggets. We were able to get her to eat breaded shrimp - and it was that event that confirmed for us it was a texture issue.
Christina Lane says
I think you're right! She ate hazelnuts in the bath yesterday! They were chopped kinda small, and she seemed to like the crunch! She's been into cashews lately, too! I just can't get her into almonds... Thanks for chiming in :)
Carolyn Pisarri says
Made these last night and boyfriend loved them! I was skeptical of the texture before baking but they came out perfect!
I also added chocolate chips instead of pumpkin seeds :)

Hi Christine,
Have you tested your muffins with part or all white whole wheat flour? I will try it as written first but I have a bag of King Arthur's WWW flour to use. :) Love your blog and Instagram!
Martha says
I clicked on "Print This Recipe" seeing the photo in the upper right hand corner. I was so disappointed to discover that the photo was missing when the recipe actually printed. Is there a way for you to correct this? The photo is what inspires me to make the muffins!
Christina Lane says
Hi Martha! Sorry, but I've had more complaints form people when the photo IS included because it wastes ink, so I disabled that feature :( I wish there was a way to turn it on for one recipe at a time :(
Vasso says
Could I replace to sugar with honey??
Love your recipes! Congrats on the adorable boy!!
Christina Lane says
I haven't tried it, but honey has a lot more moisture. Maybe add extra flour to compensate?
