Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.

Prepare Oat Flour (if needed): If using whole oats, blend them in a high-powered blender or food processor for about 10 seconds until a fine powder forms.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, honey, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among 10 muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full. Fill the remaining 2 cavities with water to ensure even baking.

Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, top with cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds before serving.

Notes

For an added touch, try topping the muffins with a light layer of cream cheese frosting and a few pumpkin seeds.

These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months, making them perfect for meal prep.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a bit more honey or maple syrup if preferred.
