Description

Healthy pumpkin oat muffins packed with oats, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and warm spices. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or meal prep with wholesome fall flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 pastured eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tray with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, and milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in raisins and pecans. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the oats absorb some liquid.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through.
  7. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack before serving.

Notes

  • These muffins keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days and freeze beautifully for 2–3 months.
  • You can swap pecans for walnuts or almonds, and raisins for dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
  • Perfect as a grab-and-go breakfast or healthy snack for school or work.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of oats or nuts on top before baking.
