Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours 11 minutes
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¾ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • ¾ cup LIBBY’S 100% PURE PUMPKIN
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter or coconut oil
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tin with liners. Spray the inside with cooking spray to prevent muffins from sticking. 
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate larger bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, melted butter or coconut oil, non-dairy milk, light brown sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and use a wooden spoon to gently mix together until just combined. Don’t over mix!  Muffin batter should be slightly clumpy not totally smooth. 
  • Portion the batter into each muffin well. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds or leave plain to drizzle with melted white chocolate when baked.* 
  • Bake for approximately 22-25 minutes, let cool and enjoy!

Notes

* if drizzling with melted white chocolate chips, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in increments of 10 seconds, stirring with a spoon in between each time. Use a fork to drizzle over each muffin once cooled.
