Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.33 cups Maple syrup
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
