Ingredients

Bowl #1 (Dry Ingredients)

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups quick oats gluten-free if necessary–I like these and buy them in bulk. Note that these gluten free pumpkin muffins would work just fine with wheat and several other types of flour if you’re not sensitive to gluten like we are.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Bowl #2 (Wet ingredients)

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée *OR* 2 medium-sized bananas smashed with a fork until smooth (no need for the bananas to be overripe like in many recipes; this will be sweet either way)
  • 1/3 cup blackstrap molasses this is another item I buy in bulk since I use it in so many recipes and it stores well for a long time
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy or dairy milk; I love using this hemp milk in it. If you use non-dairy milk, choose one that tastes good when baked.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Use two bowls: one for your wet ingredients and the other for your dry ingredients. One bowl should be large enough to hold all the ingredients when you combine them. I like this one (afflinks) since I can put a lid on it if I need to take a baking break.

  • Combine the contents of the two bowls. Mix just until combined. Get your muffin pan, and then for the easiest cleanup, use a large spoon to fill baking cups fairly full. These muffins won’t rise much. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

And then eat until your heart’s content, no matter the pumpkin season! These gluten-free pumpkin spice muffins stay good in the fridge for a couple days or a couple of months in the freezer.
