Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup milk (of choice)
• 3 tbsp oil (or additional pumpkin)
• 2 1/2 tsp white or cider vinegar
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar (or unrefined sugar)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or additional cinnamon)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• optional handful chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk of choice, vinegar, vanilla extract, and optional vegetable or melted coconut oil.

3. 3

   Let these ingredients sit for at least ten minutes while you sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

4. 4

   Combine the dry and wet ingredients, stirring until just evenly mixed without over-stirring.

5. 5

   Smooth the pumpkin muffin batter into a greased cupcake tin or muffin liners, and sprinkle with chocolate chips if desired.

6. 6

   Bake on the center rack of the oven for 19 minutes, or until domed and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

7. 7

   Let cool before handling. The muffins taste even better the next day, and the liners will peel off easily then as well.
