Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • ½ cup almond milk, at room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

  • ½ cup maple syrup

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping:

  • cup rolled oats

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled

  • ½ cup pecan pieces, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin and 1/2 of a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.

  2. Mix almond milk and vinegar together. Set aside until milk appears curdled, about 5 minutes.

  3. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together in a large bowl.

  4. Whisk almond milk mixture, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Fold in flour mixture using a rubber spatula until batter is just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Fill each jumbo muffin cup with 1/2 cup batter. Fill each standard muffin cup with 1/4 cup batter.

  6. Mix oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt together to make streusel topping. Rub in coconut oil until large clumps form. Fold in pecans. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the streusel over the jumbo muffins. Top standard-sized muffins with 1 tablespoon streusel.

  7. Bake muffins in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake standard-sized muffins for 5 to 8 minutes more. Bake jumbo muffins for 10 to 15 minutes more.

  8. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tins.

Cook's Note:

The streusel topping is optional.
