GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN MUFFINS
These muffins are meant to taste like the pumpkin pie your grandmother made: sweet but not too much so, and warm with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. They come together so easily, and bake up into such a tender-textured muffin, that you might find yourself baking them all fall.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lay out 9 muffin liners in a muffin tin.
- Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. (For best results, use a stand mixer.) Whisk in both of the eggs, one at a time, until all trace of the egg is gone. Slowly, drizzle in the oil on the side of the bowl while whisking.
- Add the dry ingredients, 1/4 cup at a time, then stir the batter thoroughly, until the flour mixture is half gone. Add the yogurt and stir. Add the remaining flour until all visible signs of flour are gone.
- Fill a muffin liner about 3/4 full with the batter. Repeat with the remaining 8 liners.
- Bake the muffins 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to 375 degrees F and bake until the muffins are browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 more minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes, then remove them to a cooling rack to cool entirely.
PUMPKIN MUFFINS (GLUTEN-FREE AND VEGAN)
This is adapted from my banana muffin recipe. The muffins are tender and delicious, with no hint that they're GF or vegan! Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree; please not the stuff intended for pumpkin pie. Acceptable egg replacers for this recipe are Ener-G, flax (1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds + 2 Tbsp. water, microwaved in a bowl until gelatinous), or a real egg, if you're feeling extravagant. Optionally, you can throw in 1/2 c. chocolate chips, dried cranberries, raisins, or walnuts. (The chocolate marries amazingly well with the pumpkin spice flavor--try it, you'll like it!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper muffin cups.
- Mix together pumpkin puree, egg, sugars, molasses, vanilla and oil. Stir in flours one at a time, adding the xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice with the millet flour. Stir in any optional ingredients now.
- Pour batter into muffin cups, filling them most of the way full. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top of each.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, or until muffins test done. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan only a few minutes; remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature can cause them to rise too quickly and then collapse.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months: Defrost frozen muffins at room temperature before serving.

These gluten-free and vegan pumpkin muffins are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people with food allergies or sensitivities.
