    Easy Pumpkin Spice Muffins

    Easy Pumpkin Spice Muffins. Vegan, Gluten Free, Oil Free, Nut Free and Low Fat!! The most flavorful, sweetly spiced, pumpkin muffins. Healthy, simple to make and SO GOOD. From The Glowing Fridge.

    This morning I woke up to cooler air and cloudy gray skies which immediately put me in the mood to bake and sip on hot pumpkin coffee. With my favorite pumpkin scented soy candles burning in the background, it very much felt like a cozy Autumn day. The leaves are falling, people are starting to wear layers and pumpkin everything is everywhere. 

    It’s been a while since I did any baking because baking in the summer is HOT… and turning on the oven seems wrong, right?! I was sorta scared to turn on the oven in my new apartment because it looks ancient.. haha but it actually worked just fine.

    Speaking of my new place, I wanted to mention something pertaining to yesterday’s post… I was in one of those really positive moods while writing it… while I’m purely excited to be here, choosing a positive attitude, looking for the good and living life for you is a daily struggle that takes work and practice, as you guys know. Some days will be harder than others but if we maintain that ‘everything will be okay’ mindset, it’s easier to get through those tough days.

    The reason I’m able to feel normal and happy again is because I went through the grieving process of change. Change is scary. Many days, I couldn’t or didn’t want to get out of bed because it was easier than facing life. Lots of tears and heartbreak and overcoming my fear of being alone brought me to this point of feeling content. So if you’re going through a rough time, just think about where you could be in 2 months or 6 months or 1 year. You never know what opportunities will come your way and where life will take you!! No matter what, you will always come out stronger on the other side. As cheesy as it sounds, it couldn’t ring more true. If three months ago, you told me I would eventually have my own place in the city, I would have laughed in your face because my mindset was sad and negative.

    We have to remember that anything is possible, if you’re consistent and know your goals. Dreams without goals are only dreams (heard that in a motivational video).

    Life is a funny thing, isn’t it? 

    Anyways, thanks for hearing me out and sharing your stories in the comments. Keep ’em comin!

    Let’s get to these Easy Pumpkin Spice Muffins.

    Easy Pumpkin Spice Muffins. Vegan, Gluten Free, Oil Free, Nut Free and Low Fat!! The most flavorful, sweetly spiced, pumpkin muffins. Healthy, simple to make and SO GOOD. From The Glowing Fridge.

    These yummy festive muffins are:

    vegan
    low-fat
    oil-free
    nut-free
    gluten-free
    banana-free

    and packed with the most warming spices. Your house will smell of a sweet bakery brimming of pumpkin spice and cinnamon sugar. When it comes to recipes, every vegan blogger says “trust me, it doesn’t taste vegan”, but you guys these are legit, I swear. Really though. Vegan baking (and cooking) shouldn’t have such a bad rep because it can stand up to any buttery non-vegan muffin or baked good. Plus they’re usually wayy healthier. Why use milk or butter when you can use almond milk and applesauce?! Healthier swaps are the way to go. 

    They turn out to be dense from the pumpkin pur?e, but not overly heavy. Sweetly spiced with all the flavors of fall, you’ll keep coming back for these easy muffins time and time again. Plus, I sprinkled only a few mini dairy-free chocolate chips on top. Just to be safe. I didn’t want the chocolate flavor to overpower the pumpkin spice so adding a few on top was PERFECT. 

    Grab a cold glass of almond milk or a hot cup of coffee and cozy up to a movie with your favorite blanket.

      These look great, but I tried them today and they did not cook all the way through. I added an extra 4-5 minutes but they just got crispy on the outside but remained chewy and not all the way cooked on the inside. Any suggestions?

      In this recipe as well, when you say “1 can” of pumpkin puree, how many ounces are we talking about?

        The regular 15 ounce can.

      I just made these and the roasted brussels sprouts earlier and I am on cloud nine! Even my roommate who isn’t vegan is impressed! I am so happy I stumbled upon your blog, I’ve been vegan for close to a year and it’s amazing how many new things I’ve tried and blogs like yours have helped me discover new food, recipes, and create a better lifestyle for me overall! So thank you, thank you, thank you!

        You’d probably be better suited searching for a different recipe. I don’t think 2 cups of almond meal would yield a favorable result.

      these look DEEE-licious! I love that these are super healtthy! I have been almost totally vegan for a while now but after baking all this holiday season stuff for the blog… even though it was all vegan I’m definitely looking into trying to clean up my diet more than just being vegan, like I totally love that you used coconut sugar in this! I have been using the vegan cane sugar but it’s about time I take it to the next level beyond just vegan food! cutting dairy like cheese was ahmazinggg! but my skin and my mood needs more plant food! 😉 lol and responding to the other comment I have missed you too girl! I’m so glad everything is going well now! XXX

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.

I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.
