‘Tis the season, to enjoy all the pumpkin spice this world has to offer. Usually I stick with my pumpkin pie recipe to get my pumpkin fix. But this year I’m feeling especially in the Fall/Winter mood.
I used my delicious Peanut Butter Banana Muffin recipe as the base, since it’s perfectly moist and always a crowd-pleaser, and adjusted the flavors away from banana towards pumpkin spice and everything nice.
These vegan pumpkin spice muffins have the perfect balance of pumpkin spice flavors and regular muffins, so technically… it doesn’t even need to be Fall or Winter to enjoy them! They’re very easy to make and are best after sitting overnight in a tupperware container. Trust me, and try them the next day. Enjoy with a cold glass of cashew milk or with your morning coffee on the go!
