Kirly Sue鈥檚 Vegan Pumpkin & Raisin Cupcakes (Serves 8)

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cooked pumpkin

2 ½ cups flour

2 cups granulated sugar

2/3 cup canola oil (can also use rapeseed oil or light olive oil)

½ cup almond milk (can also use rice milk)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 pinch of salt

1 cup of raisins


METHOD

- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.

- Line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.

- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the pumpkin, canola oil, almond milk, sugar and vanilla.

- When this is thoroughly mixed, sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon & salt.

- Use a fork or whisk -- not an electric mixer.

- When thoroughly mixed, pour in the raisins and stir well

- Pour mixture into the muffin tin -- filling each space about 2/3 full. (The cupcakes will rise quite a lot, so don't over fill the cupcake cases).

- Bake at for approx. 22 minutes or until a tooth pick placed in the centre comes out clean.
