In a large mixing bowl, whisk together well the 2 ½ cups flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoon baking power, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon each ground ginger and salt, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon each cloves and allspice.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together well the 1 cup pumpkin puree, ⅔ cup each plant-based milk and brown sugar, ½ cup neutral oil, ¼ cup cane sugar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula just until combined and no dry ingredients remain. Careful not to over mix. If adding, right before fully mixed, add the walnuts and/or chocolate.
Fill muffin cups ¾ of the way full and then place in the oven. After 5 minutes, reduce heat to 350˚F(175˚C) and finish cooking for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
