Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

Pumpkin this, pumpkin that. . . .pumpkin everywhere these days!

Craig’s prize-winning pumpkin.

But these pumpkin muffins are extra delicious and extra amazing! I was very surprised how moist these muffins were, plus they are vegan to boot! But you are always welcome to un-veganize them.
