Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Prep time: 10 mins     Cook time: 10 mins     Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 40 mini muffins <– They disappear fast!

Ingredients

• 1 & 3/4 cups all purpose flour (I used whole wheat all purpose flour)
• 1/2 cup stevia (I used Truvia)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon cloves
• 1 cup pumpkin (I used canned pumpkin)
• 1/2 cup unsweeteneed almond milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat over to 375 degrees and lightly grease mini muffin baking tins.
2. Sift together flour, stevia, baking powder, salt and spices.  In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, almond milk and apple sauce.  Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix.
3. Fill the muffin tins half-way to two-thirds full.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.

Notes

• This recipe works best with mini muffins.  I have tried with larger muffins and the consistency is a little off.  If you try the larger muffins and have success, please comment below!
• Depending on how many muffins you stretch the batter to make, it will impact the nutritional information.  My muffins are usually between 20-30 calories each.
• The muffins will rise A LOT while cooking so be certain not to overfill the tray.  These probably would make great cake pops too!
• I am still perfecting the recipe for the icing.  The icing in the picture is a combination of coconut oil, powdered sugar (stevia), and vanilla extract.  One of my favorite (non-vegan) icing recipes is the traditional cream cheese and powdered sugar icing <3
