A few years ago, my sister introduced me to Rachel Ray's Pumpkin Muffin Stuffin'. I fell in love. Since then, it's what I look forward to most on the Thanksgiving menu.

After going vegan, I had a fear that Thanksgiving would be difficult. I wasn't much of a cook and I didn't want my family to feel like they needed to modify their favorite recipes just for me. I had to remind myself that Thanksgiving wasn't only about food and that I can look at it as an opportunity to learn something new.

Blake invited me to his family's Thanksgiving dinner this year. We were put in charge of the mashed potatoes, another favorite of mine, but I was also craving the sweet and salty goodness of Rachel's Pumpkin Muffin Stuffin'. So, let's modify it! Below is the recipe I used to make Vegan Pumpkin Muffin Stuffin'. It turned out great, so flavorful and just how I imagined it.

  (You can make these from scratch or use a mix just be sure to substitute the butter and eggs. See video below for egg substitute suggestions.)
