Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 cups flour blend (all-purpose or gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (natural)

Crumb Topping Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/3 cup flour blend
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Maple Icing

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumb Topping: Combine plant-based butter, brown sugar (natural), flour blend, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Place in the fridge to chill and firm up.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and well combined.
  3. Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour blend, brown sugar (natural), baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Add Topping: Spoon the batter evenly into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Generously sprinkle the chilled crumb topping over each muffin.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The muffins should be fragrant and golden.
  7. Prepare and Drizzle Maple Icing: While the muffins cool, whisk together maple syrup (natural) and the natural gelling agent until smooth. Drizzle this icing over the cooled muffins for a sticky and sweet finish.

Notes

  • Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor impact.
  • Chill the crumb topping before baking to keep it crisp.
  • Fold batter gently to prevent tough muffins.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely before adding icing to avoid runny glaze.
