Vegan Morning Pantry Muffins

GOOD MORNING!! And if it’s not yet, it’s about to be with these muffins. Their original title is “empty out your fridge / pantry muffins”. Took a BUNCH of pantry ingredients and a few forlorn items from the refrigerator to combine them into these fluffy, nourishing, spice-y muffins.
