- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake tin with silicone or paper baking cups.
- In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients until smooth.
- Pour the batter into each baking cup until it’s three-quarters full.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Test a cupcake by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out dry, the cupcakes are done.

Notes
- Don’t add too much flour: Otherwise, the cupcakes can become dense and dry. To ensure you aren’t adding too much, fluff up the flour in its bag with a fork, then use a spoon to transfer it to your measuring cup. Finally, use the back of a knife to level off the top.
- Be careful not to over mix: Otherwise, you’ll overwork the gluten and end up with dense and/or gummy bakes.
- Don’t overfill the liners: ¾ full is perfect for these vegan pumpkin cupcakes.
- Leave them to cool: They must be 100% cool before adding frosting/glaze, or it will melt and/or slide right off.
