Spiced and moist pumpkin oatmeal muffins are so irresistible that it’s impossible to eat just one. And they’re made in 1 bowl in less than 30 minutes.
Muffins are one of the best ways to treat yourself using healthy ingredients. I even made some protein muffins post-workout that are yummy and great for my body.
I have a theory that people that don’t enjoy pumpkin is because they never tried it in sweets. I was one of those that hated boiled pumpkin as a side dish. I despited that soggy, yellow piece of pumpkin beside my dinner. My mom had me sit for hours until I finish my plate and the thought of eating that squishy vegetable made me nauseated.
So, it wasn’t until my mom made me tried her pumpkin cake — without telling me that it was pumpkin — that I got hooked.
I couldn’t believe what a bit of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg could do for that otherwise bland vegetable. It was life-changing.
Now, I even crave a big cup of Starbucks spiced pumpkin when fall arrives.
How to prepare a small batch of pumpkin oatmeal muffins?
This recipe makes 6 to 8 medium size muffins. You can double the ingredients to make more muffins.
I like the convenience of small batches because my house is just my boyfriend and me. This way, I can control the craving without binging a humongous amount of muffins. Because these moist pumpkin muffins are so yummy that you will want to eat them all.
This recipe does not require any type of electric mixer. I only use 1 bowl to mix all well with the help of a whisk.
Also, the preparation is to boil the pumpkin to make a pureé and them mixing all the best ingredients in a bowl. Yeap, that’s it!
Just be careful of not having clumps of flour trapped in the batter and the muffins are ready to go to the oven!
