Notes
Substitutions
- Stevia – The stevia I use is twice as sweet as sugar so I use half the amount of sugar this recipe would requires (70g). If the sweetener you use is a 1:1 ratio to sugar then you would use 70g. Adjust the amount of sweetener according to the sweetener you’re using and its ratio to sugar.
- Egg - Egg gives these muffins structure and helps the muffin hold its shape. For a vegan or egg-free alternative, you can try applesauce or flax egg.
- Unsweetened almond milk - I use unsweetened almond milk as it is super low in calories. You can use any milk you prefer, 2% milk is the best alternative calorie wise.
- All-purpose / Plain flour - I used regular AP flour but you can use gluten-free or wholewheat flour if you would like. I have also made this recipe with oat flour and it came out just as delicious, only the texture was not as soft as with AP flour.
- To make your own pumpkin spice mix, mix together
