Easy Vegan and Gluten-Free Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins
Fall is my time of year to bake (and eat) all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice. So having a breakfast option that’s not only healthy, but includes pumpkin is a must! These easy vegan and gluten-free pumpkin oatmeal muffins are the perfect combination of both. They are so soft and moist, subtly sweet, and packed with healthy ingredients.
This easy one bowl recipe is vegan, gluten-free, egg-free, naturally sweetened, and definitely not lacking on pumpkin flavor. These easy pumpkin oatmeal muffins make the perfect fall addition to any breakfast. Try spreading my Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese on top for some more added pumpkin flavor. I love to have one with my coffee for breakfast or even as a mid-day snack. I usually make a batch of these muffins and freeze them that way I can enjoy them longer. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention how incredible the kitchen smells while they are baking!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place cupcake liners in a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, add all the wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, olive oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs, milk, & vanilla). Whisk until incorporated.
- Next, add-in all the dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon & salt). Whisk together until just incorporated.
- Spoon batter evenly into muffin pan. Fill all the way to the top of each liner. The batter is thick and won’t spill over when baking.

- All ingredients should be room temperature before mixing everything together
