Cranberry Stuffed Pumpkin Muffins (vegan, gluten free)

Woooo pumpkin + cranberry is my new favorite thingggg since that oatmeal yesterday!

Current goal: understanding how to bake with plant-based protein powders. So first I'm focusing on rice protein. Today I made some cranberry stuffed pumpkin muffins. Kinda sorta really love this texture!!

Cranberry Stuffed Pumpkin Muffins

Makes: 8 muffins

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée

  • 1 cup baking stevia

  • 1 cup ground flax meal

  • 1/2 cup buckwheat flour

  • 2 scoops brown rice protein (30 g total)

  • 3 TBSP unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp nutmeg

  • 1 tsp ground cloves

  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger

  • 2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 cup organic whole cranberry sauce

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Mix everything except for the cranberry sauce (should be thick, but if TOO thick, add a wee little water). Spray a cupcake pan with nonstick spray and divide the batter between 8 cupcake molds. Create a crater inside the middle of each muffin, and add 1/2 tbsp of the cranberry sauce into the crater of each muffin. Bake at 375 F for 16-20 mins.
