Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

¾ cup vegan milk I used oat milk
½ cup rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white granulated sugar
½ cup Hemp Hearts
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup white granulated sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup avocado oil or other neutral flavoured oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375. Line a muffin tin with muffin holders and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl combine the milk and rolled oats. Set aside to let soften.
While the oats soak, mix together the flour, sugar, hemp hearts, baking powder, baking soda, corn starch, salt, and spices.
To the soaking oats, add the pumpkin puree, oil, applesauce and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix just until everything is blended. Do not over-mix.
Use an ice cream scoop to fill the batter into the muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow muffins to cool before removing from pan.
