Week 11 Dish 2: Vegan pumpkin muffins (ghosts and pumpkins)

Happy Halloween!!!! Yes, I know I'm a day late but I just completely forgot yesterday.... I blame the excitement of going clay pigeon shooting!!! That's right, the GP took me clay pigeon shooting - it was so much fun (even though I was pretty rubbish haha). I definitely want to go again - who wants to take me next time? :p

The recipe for today is pumpkin muffins! 'More pumpkin?! Why!?' I hear you say....trust me, these are too good not to make (and I still have enough pumpkin left for one more recipe - I know you're excited :p). I made them for the GPs that I'm staying with on Tuesday and thought I would post them on Halloween (I'm sure you can understand why from the picture below) but it's a bit late now, oh well! I hope you appreciate the ghosts and pumpkin shapes, I bought the silicone moulds from aldi (cheap but fantastic).

Ingredients
1 cup plain flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp mixed spice
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup soya milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup apple sauce
2 tbsp treacle
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C and prepare a muffin tray with muffin cups.
  2. Mix the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, soya milk, oil and treacle. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until well combined.
  4. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
