🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

5. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

6. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
