Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using nuts or dried fruit, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your Pumpkin Whole Grain Muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
