Pumpkin (Dairy-Free) Cream Cheese Muffins

Recipe and photo by Amanda Luu of @drinkalt

We can’t get enough of pumpkin baked goods during the fall. 

It’s fall dessert time and we are suckers for a delicious pumpkinny treat, especially when it’s made with real pumpkin and real ingredients. We love the combo of pumpkin, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, ginger, and clove in so many formats. We were thrilled when Amanda Luu of @drinkalt on Instagram came up with this recipe with Willa’s Oat Milk. 

Make them dairy free!

Those of us who are lactose intolerant, going for an anti-inflammatory diet (most of the time), avoiding casein, or just want to take a break from dairy in general, can easily make this recipe with dairy-free cream cheese. We’ll leave it up to you.

Why we love baking with oat milk...

Oat milk has the ability to make breads and all kinds of baked goods extra fluffy without a lot of oil. In fact, when our mother, a lifelong baker, started baking with oat milk she was shocked at how easy it was to create a fluffy quick bread. It also means that you get a bit of added protein and fiber from Willa’s Oat Milk because we use the entire whole oat, which means we have all the protein and fiber from the oats. Willa’s is akin to an artisanal whole grain bread in a category of options that are often more similar to a white bread in their nutritional profile.
