How to Prepare Pumpkin Nut Muffins [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the margarine and sugar with a paddle attachment.
Scrape the bottom of the bowl down and add the pumpkin. Mix until combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla, oil, soymilk, water and molasses. Add to the sugar mixture and mix until combined.
In a large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
Add to the wet ingredients until just mixed. Do not over mix the batter. Fold in the pumpkin seeds and walnuts, if using, by hand.
Fill the 12 standard muffin cups 2/3-full. (Optional: Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with cinnamon-sugar and pumpkin seeds.)
Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of each muffin comes out clean.

Notes

Make a loaf for slicing! Another vehicle for yummy spreads. Follow instructions 1 through 7 above, but instead of filling a muffin tin with liners (step 2), lightly grease and flour a loaf pan. Pour your prepared batter in and bake for 45 minutes to one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top of your loaf starts to get too dark before the center is done, you can place some foil over the pan.
