Did Someone Say...

Hi there, Reader

This morning, I whipped up my first pumpkin muffins of the season. My house smells delightful, and oh my gosh, they are SO GOOD!
​
Now, if I could just wrap myself up in my favourite cozy sweater and sit in front of the fire with a hot mug of tea, a good book, and one of these, I would be having a very good Tuesday.

If you also don't want to wait another second for your first taste of Fall, here's my Pumpkin Muffin recipe!

I used an antique muffin pan for the photos, but when baking, I always use these muffin pans. They are incredible and never ever stick. I don't even use liners!

Here's what some of you have had to say about this recipe:

"I just made another batch of the World's Best Pumpkin Muffins (vegan or not!) and the kitchen smells amazing and the muffins look wonderful. I make these all year long as they are our favourite muffins." - Maureen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I just made these! Oh my goodness, they are moist, flavorful and scrumptious! If these are any indication of the quality of your recipes, I decided to put a shortcut to your site for future recipes!!!" - Cindy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I hadn't expected them to be sooooo good but they came out exactly like in your photos. First, I was reluctant to add the frosting, but it is such a big plus on the taste. These muffins are simply THE GREATEST!" - Alecsandra ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"The BEST pumpkin muffin recipe. I thought the frosting part would take over the top too sweet, but nope, it made them even better. Non-vegan son ate most of them, which warmed my heart." - Renee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"My husband is vegan, but my son and I are not. Honestly, my son and I ate more of them than my husband! They were extremely easy to make and absolutely delicious. Thank you for such a great recipe!" - Kari ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you make this recipe, I'd love to hear in the comments how it turns out. You can also share a picture on Instagram. Be sure to tag @avirtualvegan!
