Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • muffin tin

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk or dairy free milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • cup pure pumpkin 173g
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Gratisfied Empower Bar Cacao baking mix pouch
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk and white vinegar. Whisk and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • In a separate large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the milk and vinegar mixture, eggs, pumpkin, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy.
  • To the bowl, add the Empower Bar Cacao baking mix, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until a batter is formed. Allow the batter to rest for 20 to 45 minutes at room temperature (the longer the better).
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • After the batter rests, transfer to the muffin tin, filling each cup 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If using a digital thermometer, the internal temperature should be between 200 and 205 degrees F.
  • Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the muffin tin (about 10 minutes) before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
