  3. In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: flaxseed egg, pumpkin, almond milk, oil and vanilla until well blended.
  4. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until moistened. Gently stir in raisins.
  5. Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners and fill 10 cups with muffin batter. Top each with a few raisins and pepits, if using.
  6. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes before moving muffins from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy warm. For storage, let muffins cool completely and place in a sealed airtight storage container. Muffins will last at room temperature for 1-2 days, 4-5 days in the fridge and 1-3 months in the freezer.
