Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup sweet sorghum flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 3/4 cup superfine brown rice flour (Authentic Foods)
  • 1/2 cup potato starch (Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus another 2 tablespoons for topping
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie)
  • 2 tablespoons ground golden flax meal
  • 1 1/4 cups non-dairy Nog, or non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate chips or raisins
  • Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Standard size muffin tin, lined with muffin liners
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the sorghum flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, xanthan gum and salt. Whisk well so that everything is well mixed.
  4. In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the oil, sugars, pumpkin and flax. Beat until smooth and emulsified. Add in have of the milk, beating until smooth. Add all of the reserved flour mixture, and beat just until it starts to mix, and then add the rest of the milk, beating just until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons sugar and a few sprinkles of cinnamon and set aside.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. You will be filling them almost to the top, a rounded 3/4 full. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with cinnamon sugar and bake in a preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the tops are puffed up with a nice cracked top, they’re nicely browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
