Muffins are a great way to sneak in fruits (when the kids were younger, thankfully they eat fresh whole fruits now) and also (yes I heard you), to use up old fruits (hello, Bananas :p). Either way, they fly off as soon as they are made at home, and I had to rejig few of my favourite muffin recipes to make it for the kids now.
Without much ado, dig into this seemingly deceptive plain VEGAN muffin thats bursting with flavour and health. I do love pumpkin puree as one of the eggless substitutes, and not just Fall, we get pumpkins / squash through the year so thats a blessing by itself & I tend to make this amazingly delicious DIY Homemade Pumpkin Puree.
I don’t need to use the canned puree, but if you wish you can use the unsweetened version.

What you need to make Eggless Pumpkin Raisin Muffins
Dry ingredients:
- 1/2 cup APF
- 1/2 cup Wholewheat flour (Stone ground or store bought)
- 2 TBSP Almond flour (I love the nuttiness but you can skip this and adjust the liquid accordingly)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder (totally optional, we love it in most sweet bakes)
Liquid:
- 1/3 cup Homemade Pumpkin Puree (unsweetened – I needed to add 2 tsp extra before baking)
- 2/3 cup Moist Brown sugar (coconut sugar works, as does Palm sugar-adjust sweetness)
- 2/3 cup Neutral Oil
- 1 TBSP Raisins
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
How to make Eggless Pumpkin Raisin Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 170C and line the muffin pans.
- Sieve the dry ingredients thrice over in a large bowl and keep aside.
- Now add the sugar to the puree and fold well, then add the rest of the wet ingredients and fold in till sugar melts and you have a pourable consistency. Add the dry ingredient mix and slowly fold till no dry streaks remain. You may need to adjust the liquid based on the pumpkin puree consistency.
- If using dairy, add a tsp of milk to adjust if too dry (I didnt need to)
- Spoon 3/4 of the muffin cups, top with few more raisins.
- Bake for 20-22 mins till a skewer comes clean.
- Serve warm (leftovers well for upto a week).

Those muffins look so inviting and perfect for snacking! I had these in list to be made, unfortunately never came around to baking these..
The muffins looks so healthy and I love that you used whole wheat flour in it.
I love the moistness that pumpkins lend the muffins. Papaya is a good substitute for pumpkins by the way, at least in my book it is 😀
I love baking with whole wheat flour as well as almond flour. Looks so delicious.
