Muffin Ingredients

Vegan Cream Cheese Filling

Crumb Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Add the dry muffin ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk them together.
    1¾ cups All- Purpose Flour, 1 cup Organic Brown Sugar, ½ tsp Baking Soda, 1 tsp Baking Powder, ½ tsp Salt, 1½ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
  • Add the pumpkin puree, melted vegan butter and unsweetened almond milk to the same bowl. Whisk to combine until batter is mostly smooth. Set aside.
    1 cup Pumpkin Puree, ½ cup Vegan Butter, ⅓ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

Vegan Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a small bowl, mix together the vegan cream cheese filling ingredients. Set aside.
    8oz. Plain Vegan Cream Cheese, 4 tbsp Organic Brown Sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Crumb Topping

  • Option 1: Add all of the crumb topping ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until crumbly.
    ¾ cup All- Purpose Flour, ⅓ cup Vegan Butter, ⅓ cup Organic Brown Sugar, 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
  • Option 2: In a medium-sized bowl combine all of the dry ingredients for the crumb topping.
  • Add in the vegan butter pieces and work into the dry ingredients by pressing the mixture together with the back of a fork until it appears crumbly.

Assembly

  • Disperse the batter evenly among a standard sized muffin pan lined with baking cups (if not using baking cups, spray generously with neutral cooking oil or vegan butter).
  • Next, layer the muffin batter with the vegan cream cheese mixture. Use a toothpick to swirl the muffin batter and vegan cream cheese mixture together if desired.
  • Finally, top off the batter and cream cheese mixture with the crumb topping, adding a generous amount.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 24 minutes.
  • Once the muffins have finished baking remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
