To begin I dumped some Golden Flavour shortening, some brown sugar and the granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer I creamed the the shortening and the sugars together until light and fluffy.
Next I added the large eggs one at a time.
I beat the eggs in with the electric mixer after each addition.
Now it is time for the almond milk and the pure pumpkin puree to be added to the mixing bowl.
Blend in on low speed so you don't have a mess.
To these liquid ingredients I added the Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour Blend, the meringue powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger.
I used the electric mixer just until all the ingredients were moistened.
To finish folding the ingredients together I used a rubber spatula.
Then I used a scoop to drop the batter into muffin pans sprayed with cooking spray.
I put the pans in a 350F oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.
