Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 0.5 cups old fashioned rolled oats plus more for topping muffins
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cups canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree
  • 0.75 cups honey or maple syrup
  • 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners.
  • Whisk together the pumpkin puree, honey, greek yogurt, oil, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl.
  • Combine the flour, oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. There may be a few lumps, that's totally fine. Just don't over mix!
  • Divide the batter evenly between muffin cups. Sprinkle a few oats on the tops of each muffin.
  • Bake muffins for 22 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. Once cool enough to handle, remove from the muffin tin and to cool completely.
  • They'll keep at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. They keep well in the freezer in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Notes

Want to make these lower in sugar? We tested this with ½ cup of maple syrup and then with ¾ cup honey. We liked the honey version much better, but if you want the muffins less sweet, feel free to reduce the sweetener to ½ cup. Need this recipe to be gluten-free? You should be able to swap a gluten-free all purpose blend for the whole wheat pastry flour or try a tested recipe for flourless pumpkin muffins! Need a vegan recipe? Try the vegan pumpkin muffins instead!
