Kids with food allergies need to have a way to enjoy the fall season too! That’s why my daughter and I came up with these allergy friendy pumpkin cupcakes. My daughter has LOTS of food allergies, so we have to make a lot of things from scratch.
One of my favorite flavors of fall is pumpkin. When I am making treats for the family, my daughter always wanted us to figure out a way to make cupcakes for kids like her. I mean what kid doesn’t love having cupcakes to celebrate holidays? (Some of us adults still love cupcakes)
That’s where these allergy friendly pumpkin cupcakes come in. They are amazingly moist, light and fluffy without the use of dairy or even eggs. I even snuck them in with the regular cupcakes to see if Mr. Crunchy could tell the difference, and he couldn’t
If you love pumpkin, then you have to try these cupcakes. It’s a perfect way to celebrate fall without worrying about food allergies!
This recipe is nut, dairy, soy, and egg free. Enjoy!

I am new to baking/cooking with allergies. Your egg substitute is 2T water, 1T oil, and 1 T baking powder. Is this for one egg? So this recipe would be 8T water, 4T oil and 4T baking powder. Is that correct? Thanks

Lesa, Yes that is correct. It seems like a lot, but it works out well 🙂 Thanks for asking. Hope you enjoy the muffins.
