Autumn treats

These are a couple of my favorite treats I love to make in the fall...

Vegan pumpkin spice muffins

I love these because there is no oil or butter in them--just pumpkin, spices, and flour!

2 c. whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 c. vegan cane sugar (has great taste)

1 T. baking powder

1/2 ts. baking soda

1/2 ts. salt

1/2 ts. cinnamon (I throw in a little more)

1/4 ts. nutmeg (again a little more)

1 15 oz can of organic pumpkin

unsweetened coconut*

Mix all together and put in muffin tin and bake for 25-30 min. at 375 degrees.

*I wondered how coconut would taste added to the muffins, so I tried it for the first time...I sprinkled coconut on top of each muffin before I put them in the oven. It added a little bit of yummy sweetness. It turned out awesome!

Vegan banana bread

1/2 c. vegan butter

1 c. vegan cane sugar

1/3 c. + 1 T egg replacer

3 bananas

2 c. whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix all wet ingredients together. Sift dry ingredients separately and then add to wet mix and pour in loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Enjoy!
