Calories 94kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Kellogg's All-Bran Cereal
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 1/2 tbsp water
- 1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (plus more for topping)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line the muffin cups.
- Soak the bran cereal in almond milk in a large mixing bowl until the cereal softens.
- In another bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Add the flax egg and pumpkin to the cereal mixture. Stir until completely combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups halfway with the batter. Top with chopped pecans and sprinkle with coconut sugar.
- Bake the pumpkin bran muffins for 25 minutes or until their tops spring back to your touch.
Notes
- Make sure to soak your bran cereal, or you'll end up with a gritty batter! This step is also important for perfectly soft, moist vegan pumpkin bran muffins!
- Allow the freshly baked pumpkin muffins to sit in the pan for about 5 minutes to ensure they won't fall apart when you take them out. However, you still want to transfer and cool them completely on a wire rack so they don't get soggy.
- These flavorful pumpkin bran muffins are also perfect with a simple streusel topping made from dairy-free butter, all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, and granulated white sugar! Or, for something more indulgent, whisk plant-based cream cheese with maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon for a quick maple cream cheese frosting.
