Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

gluten-free-muffin-cutI originally wrote a recipe for gluten free muffins before I also went egg free. You can see that version here.

However, now that I can’t have eggs either, I have been experimenting with the best modifications to make my original recipe gluten free and vegan.

The last batch was pretty good and got approvals, but this batch was simply amazing! So, so delicious. These gluten free muffins are moist and filling – and there isn’t any processed sugar in them either!

They make a great breakfast if you need to grab something quick, or a filling afternoon snack.

There are plenty of ways you can make substitutions as well – you can swap some of the flours, swap the pumpkin for shredded apple or use your favorite nuts. Enjoy!
