How to make Pumpkin Spice Oats Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 160°C and lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, and Greek yogurt. Add the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin purée, whisking until smooth.
- Add the baking soda and pumpkin spice. Stir gently until combined.
- Fold in the flour and oats with a rubber spatula, mixing just until the flour disappears - the key here is to not overmix.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle extra oats on top if desired.
- Bake for 25 minutes and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Tip from our dietician Solenne
Since the muffins are nutrient-dense, you may want to start with half a muffin to see how your body handles it. Remember to chew slowly and listen to your body’s signals.
