Pumpkin seems to be the biggest craze this year. Whether you are behind the trend or not, you cannot deny that it is a staple fall treat. I like my breakfast to be fast and portable, but I don’t like to skimp on the taste. I was more than thrilled when I found the perfect pumpkin recipe that allows me to eat healthier and still have breakfast on the go breakfast.
This recipe for pumpkin spice muffins is vegan, healthy and only requires two ingredients. Just combine water and canned pumpkin, and you will have the perfect combination. This recipe is perfect to take on the go or for a casual brunch with friends.

Ingredients:
