Preparation
Preheat the oven

Prepare the muffin batter
1. In a large bowl, mix together the wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and raw sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, oat milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until you get a smooth batter.
Fold in the chocolate
1. Chop the dark chocolate and gently fold it into the batter.
Bake the muffins
1. Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin liners and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the frosting
1. While the muffins are baking, prepare the frosting. Beat the vegan margarine with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy. Add food coloring to turn the frosting a bright orange.
Decorate the muffins
1. Let the muffins cool before decorating them with the orange frosting. Use chocolate chips to create the eyes and mouth of a pumpkin face.
The muffins are now ready to serve and perfect for your Halloween celebration!
