Pumpkin Muffins (Gluten-Free and Vegan) image

This is adapted from my banana muffin recipe. The muffins are tender and delicious, with no hint that they're GF or vegan! Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree; please not the stuff intended for pumpkin pie. Acceptable egg replacers for this recipe are Ener-G, flax (1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds + 2 Tbsp. water, microwaved in a bowl until gelatinous), or a real egg, if you're feeling extravagant. Optionally, you can throw in 1/2 c. chocolate chips, dried cranberries, raisins, or walnuts. (The chocolate marries amazingly well with the pumpkin spice flavor--try it, you'll like it!)

These muffins were a bit dry. I think I might add some more liquid next time. Otherwise, they were very flavorful.

I had some trouble getting the muffins to rise. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Other than that, they were still delicious.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, they were very good.
