If you haven’t heard yet, my rescue pup Chewie (pomeranian) has been coughing a lot and has been tentatively diagnosed with Tracheal collapse. His cough suppressant (butraphanol) doesn’t seem to be doing a good job. We will be talking to his vet again tomorrow. If anyone has any pointers for natural remedies to help ease his coughing and dealing with the collapsed trachea, please do write to me on the post, email or on any of my social media.

Yet another awesome recipe, using ingredients that I keep on hand. These were delicious and baked up to look just like your picture. There’s really no need for me to look for recipes anywhere else – between your book and website, I am super spoiled. I am so impressed too that you have such a range in the types of recipes that you create. So many of my favorite curries, potatoes, burgers, etc. as well as the most reliably wonderful baked goodies, and most of all, your personality and approach to cooking and life. It’s a real gift that you share.
Richa
Awesome! so glad these turned out great! Thanks for the wonderful note. At times I am not that adventurous, but blogging helps me get out of the shell to try new ingredients, methods and recipes.

Love these! I used Whole Wheat pastry flour and these rose beautifully. Doubled the recipe and it made 16 delicious muffins. Happy because I have more pumpkins to roast and a great recipe to utilize the purée in!
Yulia
Richa, do you think this recipe will work as a loaf instead of muffins?
Thanks very much.
Richa
yes it should be fine in a loaf.
Richa
bake for 35 to 40 mins

Yum yum. So easy and good. I made with sweet potato purée and half the sugar. Definitely still sweet enough. Next time I’ll omit the cloves since I think I’m a bit sensitive to those. Question: how do I store these?
Vegan Richa Support
Line an airtight container or zip-lock bag with paper towel and place the muffins in a single layer. put another paper towel on top of the muffins as well.

These were so good for breakfast today (I halved the sugar and they still tasted great).

These look great! I can’t resist muffins of any kind and also love coconut in everything 🙂
Richa
I know right. there was a time when i didnt really care much for coconut. coconut in different forms has been growing on me!
Caitlin
is there anything more delicious than pumpkin AND coconut?! i don’t think so… except for maybe peanut butter and chocolate.
poor chewie! i hope he starts getting better soon! keep us updated.
Richa
nope there isnt, atleast for fall 😉
i hope so too. he is on higher dose of cough meds and probably will go through few days of antibiotics. lets see
gluten allergy
Omg!! I just loved your recipe! Thank you so much for sharing..
Richa
Thanks!

Have never tried pumpkin muffins, honestly. And pumpkin with coconut is even more intriguing! Must try soon 🙂
Richa
you definitely should!

Hi Richa. Thanks for your wonderful website. I just made these and they are delicious, nice texture and I enjoyed the contrasting chewiness of the coconut shreds. I used half of a sweetener made from steviol glycosides and Erythritrol and half of a very dark molasses type sugar, plus a few sultanas. I will cut back the amount of sugar next try as they were slightly too sweet for me (the substitute sweetener may be sweeter than regular sugar).
Richa
awesome! with the raw sugar, these are actually not super sweet. sweeteners can be tricky with conversion. glad you liked them 🙂
Sara
No problem 🙂 looking forward to making them!
Sara
Question – your recipe instructions say add flax meal, but the ingredients don’t list flax meal or how much. Thanks!
Richa
1 Tbsp.. added it in the recipe. thanks for catching that. 🙂
