Autumn is the time of year when Pumpkin starts to make an appearance in all sorts of recipes. It’s a great vegetable for pies, muffins, soups and vegan curries. We’re love Vegan Pumpkin Spiced Muffins as the pumpkin creates such a lovely moist cupcake. Packed with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg our Vegan Pumpkin Spiced Muffins are great to have with tea, or as part of a packed lunch for school.
Do make sure you don’t use ‘Pumpkin Pie Filling’ by mistake – you need plain, pureed Pumpkin.
