Equipment

  • Junior loaf pan or muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120 g) sub mashed banana or applesauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar (24 g⁣) brown/coconut sugar works best
  • 1 tbsp oil (15 g⁣)
  • 1 tbsp any milk or water (15 g) or more oil, I used unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup flour (60 g) gf all purpose if desired
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda⁣
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder⁣
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice adjust to taste
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Crumb topping

  • 2 tbsp flour (15 g) gf all purpose if desired
  • 2 tbsp sugar (24 g⁣) brown/coconut sugar works best
  • pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter/oil melted (14 g) df if desired
  • 2 tbsp (optional) chopped nuts (15 g)

Instructions

  • To make the streusel, mix sugar, cinnamon and flour and pour in melted butter, stir to combine, mix in nuts, chill in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and line your loaf pan with parchment. ⁣
  • In a bowl mix pumpkin, sugar, oil, milk. In another pan whisk together all other dry ingredients.
  • Add dry into wet, fold to combine, pour into loaf pan.⁣ Sprinkle with the streusel.
  • Bake about 30 minutes until a knife inserted comes out mostly clean. ⁣Muffins should take about 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely, slice and enjoy!!

Notes

  • You can use any oil/yogurt/dairy-free alternative for this recipe instead of the 1 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp milk as written. 
  • Recipe as written is sweet enough for snacks. You will want to add more sugar/sweetener for a dessert cake, or use the icing below:
  • To make a quick icing mix together 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 2 tsp maple syrup (15 g each) until smooth and drizzle on! Really turns this cake into a rich dessert.
