Pumpkin Muffins, Vegan, Gluten Free, Sugar Free Baking.
These are the most delicious pumpkin muffins 🔥 Believe me!
I tried dozens of recipes and found one that is really delicious! A real muffin, as it should be. Soft, light and porous - airy. These are exactly like that! Pumpkin muffins become aromatic, due to spices! Sweet, because pumpkin is unrealistically sweet! And so airy because of nut flour.
🔺I am often asked where to get nut flour. It's simple! Make it yourself!
🔸To do this, grind the nuts you are going to cook with in a blender. If your blender does not grind them to a powdery consistency, then how can I grind them additionally in a coffee grinder. That's it! The nut flour is ready!
🔺And one more thing! I cook pastries for myself without eggs, because unfortunately I can't have either egg whites or yolks. But! You can't make delicious muffins, pies or cookies without eggs. And I easily replace eggs in my baking with flaxseed flour.
🔸Where can I get it? Again, make it yourself! Grind flax seeds in a coffee grinder!
🔸Flaxseed flour is called "vegan eggs" for a reason. I used to pre-mix flaxseed flour with water, which resulted in a gel-like liquid that I mixed into the dough. But, many years of experience have shown that you can add dry flaxseed flour to the dough. Its quality does not suffer from this, and kneading the dough is much easier. You don't have to break and mix the dark lumps of "vegan eggs" until smooth. In general, I don't bother with this anymore and immediately mix the flaxseed flour with gluten-free flour. Faster and easier!

🔺You can experiment with flavors and add other spices and ingredients to pumpkin muffins, to your taste. And I will give you ideas on what else pumpkin goes well with, so that you can make muffins that are delicious every time.
🔺So, what products go well with pumpkin:
🔹Chocolate, cocoa or carob. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% softens the sweetness of pumpkin and enhances its fruity notes.
🔹Oranges or tangerines. Enhance the fruity notes of pumpkin, making them play in a new way.
🔹Ginger and lime. Pumpkin loves spices and citrus fruits, and its combination with lime and ginger will give you a great result.
Enjoy pumpkin muffins!
