Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s adequately heated for baking these delightful pumpkin bran muffins.
-
Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by lightly spraying each cup with non-stick spray, ensuring the muffins will release easily after baking.
-
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, wheat germ, vegan sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Stir them together until well mixed, creating a flavorful base for your muffins.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: Ener-G Egg Substitute, pumpkin puree, raisins, soymilk, light corn syrup, and molasses. Blend them together until they form a smooth and uniform mixture, adding richness and moisture to your muffins.
-
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine, and overmixing can result in dense muffins.
-
Using a spoon, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full. This ensures that your muffins will rise beautifully while baking, creating a lovely domed top.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. This indicates that they are perfectly baked and ready to enjoy!
-
Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Alternatively, if you can’t wait, serve them warm for a comforting treat that’s hard to resist!
These pumpkin bran muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can even be frozen for longer-term storage, allowing you to enjoy their deliciousness whenever the craving strikes. So go ahead, indulge in these wholesome and flavorful muffins that are as satisfying as they are nutritious! 🎃🧁
