Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, brown sugar, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using chopped nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
