Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

I don’t even know where to begin to tell you how excited I get when Fall comes so I can enjoy all the yummy pumpkin options that come out at grocery stores, coffee shops & restaurants. Most of these options are unhealthy & processed, so I love making a good pumpkin recipe that is healthy. Hope you give these a try because you won’t be disappointed!

Recipe:

• 1 1/2 c. oat flour (measure out 1 1/2 c. of oats & blend them in your blender till the oats resemble flour - super easy!)

• 1/4 c. oats

• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

• 1 tsp. backing soda

• 1/4 tsp. baking powder

• 1 egg

• 1 c. honey - I use 1/2 c. because I don’t like a lot of sugar

• 1/4 c. any kind of milk or milk substitute

• 1 tsp. vanilla

• 1 c. can pumpkin puree ( I freeze the remaining of the can pumpkin in 1 c. increments for future muffins)

• 1/4 c. chopped walnuts - for top (optional)

---

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. In bowl - mix together: oat flour, oats cinnamon, baking soda & baking powder

3. In a separate bowl mix: egg, honey, milk of choice, vanilla & pumpkin puree

4. Combine the dry & wet ingredients together. Do not over mix - this will cause muffins to be rubbery rather than fluffy & moist

5. Grease muffin tin or use muffin wrappers - fill each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top (if you choose)

6. Bake 18 to 20 minutes

7. Enjoy!
