Hi hi hi! And bless the heck up for pumpkin season.
We’re muffin-ing today, and I’m so excited. I love muffins because they’re basically cake, but wayyyy easier to make.
And these muffins? The easiest muffins you’ll ever make. Seriously. All of the ingredients go into a blender, the batter gets plopped in a muffin tin, and in just 15 minutes, your house will smell pumpkiny and festive.
Seriously love that baked goods double as air fresheners.
So if you’re ready to get into the fall spirit in a delicious vegan way, let’s do it.
Let’s make Blender Vegan Pumpkin Muffins! You’ll need:
- Pumpkin: Obv. Probably didn’t need to tell you that.
- Flavors: I used pre-mixed pumpkin spice mix and cinnamon. Plus some vanilla and salt.
- Maple Syrup: One of our sweeteners and moisture-adders.
- Dates: Our other sweetener; adds a slight caramel flavor.
- Oil: To bring some richness to the party. I used grapeseed oil because of its mild flavor, but you can use coconut, olive, etc.
- Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Vegan Egg Replacer: THE MAGIC behind these muffins! They are 100% vegan thanks to this egg replacer that binds our ingredients together and provides some lift. I love this product, and it’s useful for turning pretty much any recipe vegan – cakes, cookies, cupcakes, etc. One bag will go a long way!
- Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats: I have them every single day for breakfast, and now I can have them as a snack/dessert! This is our only “flour” in this recipe – simple and whole grain!
- Baking Soda: For dat puff.
And. that’s. it. So simple, right? All of it goes in a blender and comes out a slightly chunky, deliciously spiced batter.
You can “optionally” add chocolate chips into the batter or on top of each muffin, but I never want to live in a world where chocolate chips are optional. In my book, they’re required always.
They are SO cute and fun and festive and made with whole foods and yummy and too easy to eat and moist and addictive.
You’re going to love this recipe, friends. HAPPY FALL <3

Ingredients
2 Tbsp. Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Vegan Egg Replacer

2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats
8 medjool dates, pitted

Can you substitute real eggs? If so – amount?
I think so! You’d need two :)
Could you substitute almond flour for the oats? My son can’t have oats or grains.
