  • 1/4 cup oat milk (or other milk of choice)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 2 cups gluten free oat flour
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1.5 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves

Streusel Topping Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons dairy free cold butter (or butter of choice)

Optional Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon oat milk (or other milk of choice)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large muffin tin with muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl combine wet ingredients: canned pumpkin, brown sugar, cane sugar, vanilla, vegetable oil, vanilla, oat milk, and eggs.
  • Whisk with a fork until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Next, in a medium size bowl combine all dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Whisk well until all ingredients are well combined and no clumps remain.
  • Slowly begin to pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients, whisking as you go until a smooth batter forms.
  • Next, in a small bowl combine all streusel ingredients, and gently begin to mix with a fork, kneading the butter into the flour and sugar until a crumble begins to form.
  • Pour pumpkin muffin batter into each muffin tin roughly ¾ of the way full. Then top each muffin with a sprinkle of streusel crumble topping.
  • Place muffins in the oven for ~30 minutes or until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely before topping with an optional drizzle of icing.
  • Serve with a hot cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
