Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

Recipe Description

These are Healthy Pumpkin Muffins and I love to make them for my kids to enjoy after a long day at school or doing activities. They taste great even though they are made with natural sweetener and whole wheat grains. If you don’t have any pumpkin spice, you could make your own by combining one teaspoon of ground cinnamon with ½ a teaspoon of ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon of ground allspice or cloves.

Mix wet ingredients together in a large bowl. Add flour and oats and stir to combine. Transfer the batter to the muffin tray and top each one with a tablespoon of oats, a light sprinkle of raw sugar and some pumpkin spice blend. Bake in the oven and leave to cool completely before devouring. These muffins will keep at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They also freeze well!

To make Healthy Pumpkin Muffins you will need the following ingredients:

I made these Healthy Pumpkin Muffins for my kids after school. They loved them! The muffins are surprisingly tasty without the usual sugar. I even tried the homemade pumpkin spice mix and it was so easy. Great recipe for busy moms looking for healthy snacks in a hurry.
