Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
Heat the unsweetened almond milk until it's just steaming. Steep the black tea or chai in the milk as directed on the tea - usually 5 to 10 minutes.
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 chai or black tea bag
Once steeped, combine the milk, pumpkin, coconut sugar, cashew butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
¾ cup (195g) pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup coconut sugar, ¼ cup (64g) raw cashew butter, ¼ cup (50g) coconut oil, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Add oat flour, almond flour, flax meal, chai spice mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until combined.
1 cup (120g) gluten-free oat flour, 1 cup (96g) blanched almond flour, 2 tablespoons flax meal, 4 teaspoons chai spice mix, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon sea salt
Divide between the 10 to 12 muffin tins (10 will give bigger fluffier muffins, 12 will be slightly smaller). Sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking if desired from a crunchy, sugary crust.

Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffins spring back when pressed lightly with a fingertip. Once done, let cool completely on a wire rack.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. I like to freeze and heat a muffin in the microwave when I want it!
