Allergy Friendly Pumpkin Muffins

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday! Cody may have some limitations when it comes to the candy and food, but there is so much more to Halloween than the food and I hope to share the fun of Halloween with him. There are costumes, decorations, parties, beautiful fall nights and spooky stories!

I still want him to enjoy some special Halloween treats, so I'm going to try out some ideas I have this year.

Below is a recipe for pumpkin muffins that I have been working on for a while. I thought it would be a great recipe to share now for fall and Halloween. And October seems to be the month for pumpkin everything!

I added some chopped, dried cranberries because Cody loves them.

These muffins are dairy free, egg free, wheat free, peanut and tree nut free and vegan.

Enjoy!

In another large bowl combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, applesauce, oil, oat milk and vanilla.
