Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup oil (mild tasting like coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Blend the oats into a flour and add it to a bowl.
  • Add the baking powder, and pumpkin spice to the bowl with the ground oats and mix until combined.
  • Blend the pumpkin puree, applesauce, eggs, oil, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  • Mix until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a mini muffin pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 30 mini muffins. You may make regular-sized muffins by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time. You may also bake in a loaf pan to create pumpkin bread.
  • I love this this nutribullet blender to blend the wet ingredients into a smooth batter.
  • I used extra light tasting olive oil in this recipe. Use a mild tasting oil like coconut oil or melted butter so that the taste doesn’t overpower the muffins.
  • You may reduce the amount of maple syrup if you prefer less sweetness in the muffins. I wouldn't suggest omitting it completely as the applesauce does not provide much sweetness on its own. 
  • I like to use a silicone muffin pan to bake these muffins as they pop out easily without any sticking. If using a regular mini muffin pan, be sure to coat with a cooking spray beforehand.
