Pumpkin Oat Muffins
Make these Pumpkin Oat Muffins with whole wheat flour for a healthier, whole grain muffin sweetened with dark brown sugar and maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place paper liners in a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices).
- In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients except for the buttermilk.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and alternately stir in the pumpkin mixture and the buttermilk. DO NOT over mix; just stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Evenly divide the batter into the cups of the muffin pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Sprinkle tops with a few pumpkin seeds (and dry oats, if desired).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely,
Notes
Store Pumpkin Oat Muffins in an airtight container or ziplock bag, and reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds for the most enjoyment.
