Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, low-calorie sweetener, and plant-based milk until smooth.

  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
