Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs at room temperature (or flax eggs)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened) (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or regular milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour 8.9 oz./266g
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 5g
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup old-fashioned oats 40g
- ½ cup raisins roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds as garnish (optional)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips as topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F/163 degrees C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners. If you do not have parchment liners, generously coat the cups with oil.
- To prepare the wet ingredients, place coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin puree, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- To prepare the dry ingredients, whisk together whole wheat flour, kosher salt, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and oats in a separate large mixing bowl until fully incorporated.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Scoop the batter into each muffin cup, about ⅔ full. If preferred, top with the pumpkin seeds or chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan onto a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Yields: This recipe makes 12 muffins. The nutritional values below are per muffin.
- Storage: Bring them to room temperature and store in an airtight container for upto 4 days.
- Freeze: Cool completely, then transfer your muffins to a freezer bag, squeezing out all the air. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Flax eggs: If you prefer a vegan pumpkin oatmeal muffins recipe, use flax eggs instead. Mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds (aka flax meal) with 5 tablespoons of water to make flax eggs. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until it reaches a gel-like consistency. Use it in the recipe in place of eggs.
