Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with liners.
  • Add the non-dairy milk and the apple cider vinegar to a small mixing bowl. Mix and set aside for now.
  • Place the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves, and salt in your high-speed blender or food processor and process into a powder. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. (no need to wash your blender)
  • Place 2 tablespoons of the fig/date soaking water in your blender and then discard the rest of the soaking water. Add the dates to the blender, along with the non-dairy milk/vinegar mixture, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, seed or nut butter, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the liquid mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix (don't over mix or your muffins will get hard). Fold in the chopped pecans and raisins.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin liners, filling them to the very top of the liners.
  • Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until a toothpick, or a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely before storing

The muffins will keep well inside an air-tight container at room temp for up to 3 days!
