I know I have been AWOL for a while now, but back here to make amends.
With 3 desserts lined up with Fall / Autumn fruits this week, its the best way to remedy a long absence from my dear readers and this blog, of course !
Without much ado, dig into this seemingly deceptive plain VEGAN muffin thats bursting with flavour and health. I do love pumpkin puree as one of the eggless substitutes, and not just Fall, we get pumpkins / squash through the year so thats a blessing by itself & I tend to make this amazingly delicious DIY Homemade Pumpkin Puree. I dont need to use the canned puree, but if you wish you can use the unsweetened version.
Other recipes using Pumpkin puree are:
Wholewheat Chocochip Pumpkin Quick Bread (Can you go wrong there ? :-))
&
Almost Vegan Pumpkin and Chocolate Cake (yummm, yes!!)

Today's muffins are half APF and half wholewheat, but you can go either the whole way ! Lets get baking, then. Shall we ?
Prep time : 10 mins, baking time : 22-24 mins, Makes : 8 muffins
What you need:
Dry ingredients:
- APF - ½ cup
- Wholewheat flour - ½ cup
- Almond flour - 2 tablespoon (I love the nuttiness but you can skip this and adjust the liquid accordingly)
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Baking soda- ½ tsp
- Cinnamon powder - ½ teaspoon (totally optional.)
Liquid:
- Homemade Pumpkin Puree (unsweetened) - ½ cup + 1 tsp
- Brown sugar / Palm sugar - ⅔ cup (adjust sweetness)
- Neutral Oil - ⅔ cup
- Raisins - 1 TBSP
- Vanilla essence - ½ tsp
How to make:
- Preheat oven to 170C and line the muffin pans. Sieve the dry ingredients thrice over in a large bowl and keep aside.
- Now add the sugar to the puree and fold well, then add the rest of the wet ingredients and fold in till sugar melts and you have a pourable consistency. Add the dry ingredient mix and slowly fold till no dry streaks remain. You may need to adjust the liquid based on the pumpkin puree consistency.
- If using dairy, add a teaspoon of milk to adjust if too dry (I didnt need to)
- Spoon ¾ of the muffin cups, top with few more raisins.
- Bake for 20-22 mins till a skewer comes clean.
- Serve warm (leftovers well for upto a week).

The muffins looks so healthy and I love that you used whole wheat flour in it.

I love the moistness that pumpkins lend the muffins. Papaya is a good substitute for pumpkins by the way, at least in my book it is 😀
