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.

After allowing them to cool for a few minutes in the pan I moved the muffins to a cooling rack.

FAQS:

How do I store pumpkin spice muffins?

To store pumpkin spice muffins, follow these simple steps to keep them fresh and delicious for longer:

  1. Cool the muffins completely: Allow the muffins to cool down completely before storing them. If you store them while still warm, condensation can form inside the container, leading to moisture buildup and potential mold growth.
  2. Use an airtight container: Place the cooled muffins in an airtight container. This could be a large food storage container with a tight-fitting lid, a sealable plastic bag, or a resealable plastic container. Make sure it’s clean and dry before adding the muffins.
  3. Line the container: If you are stacking the muffins, you can separate each layer with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking and maintain their shape.
  4. Store at room temperature: If you plan to consume the muffins within 1-2 days, they can be stored at room temperature. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  5. Refrigeration: If you want to store the muffins for a longer period (up to a week), you can refrigerate them. Again, use an airtight container, and they will remain moist and fresh.

Remember, homemade baked goods without preservatives will typically have a shorter shelf life than commercially prepared products. Always use your judgment and check for any signs of spoilage before consuming stored muffins. If you notice any mold growth, off smells, or a change in texture, it’s best to discard them.

Can I freeze pumpkin spice muffins?

Yes, you can freeze pumpkin spice muffins! Freezing muffins is a great way to extend their shelf life and enjoy them at a later time. To freeze pumpkin spice muffins properly, follow these steps:

  1. Allow the muffins to cool completely: Before freezing, make sure the muffins are completely cooled to room temperature. If they are still warm, moisture can build up in the container and cause freezer burn.
  2. Wrap the muffins individually: Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps prevent them from sticking together and allows you to take out only the number of muffins you need at a time.
  3. Place in a freezer-safe container or bag: Once each muffin is wrapped, place them in a freezer-safe container or a sealable plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible from the bag before sealing to minimize the risk of freezer burn.
  4. Label and date the container: It’s essential to label the container with the contents and the date you froze them. Muffins can generally be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
  5. Store in the freezer: Place the container with the wrapped muffins in the freezer, making sure they are lying flat to maintain their shape.
  6. Thawing and reheating: When you want to eat the frozen muffins, simply take out the desired number of muffins from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature or microwave them on a low setting until they are heated through.

By following these steps, you can enjoy delicious pumpkin spice muffins even after they’ve been frozen.
