Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups spelt flour or a mix of spelt and all purpose, or 1 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Use 2 tbsp more for sweeter
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar other sugar of choice
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice 11/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 to 1/3 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves
Wet
  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin not pumpkin pie mix
  • 1/2 cup non dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 tablespoons molasses add 2 tbsp for stronger flavor
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
For filling
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened (I used tofutti)
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans or vegan mini chocolate chips to top optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc. Take the cream cheese from the fridge, Mix the sugar into the cream cheese, mix until smooth.
  2. in a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients until well combined.
  3. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well. it will take a minute or 2 for the pumpkin puree to combine well. There should be no streaks of pumpkin. Add a tbsp more non dairy milk if needed.
  4. Fill the muffin tins to about half.
  5. Add a 1-2 tsp or more cream cheese in the middle and fill the rest to about 3/4 full. * You can add a Tbsp of sugar plus a pinch of cinnamon to the cream cheese before filling if you want it to be sweet.
  6. Even it out. sprinkle pumpkin seeds or pecans or chocolate chips or other topping of choice. I like pecans and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees F  / 200ºc for 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 350 and continue to bake for 6 to 7 minutes. or until a toothpick test comes out clean.
  8. Cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin pan. then cool completely on a cooling rack before storing. Store on the counter if consuming within a few hours. Refrigerate for upto a 4 days.

Notes

  • You can make these with unbleached white flour/ap flour as well.For variation: add cranberries or chocolate chips to the batter.To make without the filling, fill the muffin cups to about 3/4 and bake.
