Fall baking has begun! Days are getting shorter, and colder and the light angles are getting sharper, I am sniffling every other day (send some turmeric miso soup!) and Pumpkin puree cans have been stacked. These hearty breakfast muffins are handy to have around for snacking. They are all things fall with pumpkin, spices and satisfying with the oats and almond in them.
These muffins are gluten-free with almond and oat flours and a bit of starch. The streusel has some flour, pecans and cinnamon. Add an icing for extra moisture and serve there warm with some vegan butter. You can also bake the batter in a brownie pan for hearty breakfast bars. Add more streusel and bake until a toothpick from the center comes out clean.
For regular flour muffins, try these pumpkin cream cheese stuffed muffins. Lets get baking!

- Total 35 minutes
Ingredients
Wet:
- 1 tbsp flax seed meal
- 4 tbsp water
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp oil ((neutral safflower oil or refined coconut))
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Dry:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 3 tbsp potato starch
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup oats
Streusel:
- 1/4 cup oat flour (, substitute option in notes)
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp vegan butter or oil
- 3 tbsp chopped pecans
Instructions
- 1
Line a muffin pan with liners. Preheat the oven to 375 deg F (190 C).
- 2
Mix the flax meal with water and set aside for 2 mins. In a large bowl, combine the flax "egg", pumpkin puree, sugar, maple, vinegar, oil and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- 3
Add the oats to the puree mixture, and mix in.
- 4
Add the dry ingredients and mix well to make a thick batter. Add 3-4 tbsp chopped pecans if you like. Spoon the thick mixture into prepared muffin pan. (I use a cookie scoop to scoop the thick mixture into the pan. Then use the scoop or spatula to even the top a bit)
- 5
Make the Streusel: Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon in a bowl. Add vegan butter or oil and mix with your hands to make breadcrumbs. Add in the pecans and mix in. Spoon the streusel over the muffins.
- 6
Bake for 20 mins. Check if the muffins are done. Remove from the pan after 5 mins. let cool completely covered with a light kitchen towel. Add a simple sugar icing drizzle if you like.
- 7
Store: on the counter for the day, refrigerate for upto 5 days. Microwave to warm and serve with vegan butter.
Notes
Oat flour: Blend gluten-free oats in a blender to make flour and use, or use half rice flour, half almond flour as substitute. Oil substitute: Use nut butter in the streusel and 2 tbsp more pumpkin puree in the batter. without oil the muffins will tend to dry out a lot, so add an icing. Bake into a pan: You can bake the batter into a brownie pan. Double the streusel, bake for 30 mins or until a toothpick from the center comes out clean. Nutrition is for 1 muffin
