Equipment
- Standing mixer with whisk attachment or large mixing bowl with mixer
- 12 Cupcake liners
- Separate mixing bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP Olive oil
- ¾ Cup White granulated sugar
- ¼ Cup Maple syrup
- ¼ Cup Thick Greek yogurt
- 2 Egg replacer or eggs we use Ener-G for the egg replacer but use your preferred and follow package instructions to incorporate
- 1 TBS Vanilla extract
- 1 15 oz Can of 100% pumpkin puree not the pie-filling kind
- 2 Cups Our tiger nut all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients
- In the standing mixer bowl with a whisk attachment or in a mixing bowl with a mixer on low speed, stir the olive oil, maple syrup, and sugar together until just combined
- Next add the greek yogurt, vanilla extract, egg replacer (follow package instructions on how to incorporate), and pumpkin puree into the standing mixer or mixing bowl and mix on low speed.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice together
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl and whisk until fully incorporated
- Line the cupcake mold with liners
- Fill the liners just below the top. These muffins will slightly rise
- Let the batter rest in the cupcake pan for 30 minutes if you've used the egg replacer. If you have used regular eggs, you can skip this resting time.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉/177℃ as the batter rests
- Bake for 30 minutes once the batter is done resting and the oven is preheated
- To test for doneness, use a toothpick or fork and check to see if either comes out clean when you pierce the center
- Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
