HEALTHY PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Light coat a 12-inch standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, and Greek yogurt. Once blended, whisk in the egg and vanilla. Make sure the ingredients are smooth and well blended.
• Whisk in the pumpkin purée.
• Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and salt over the top. Whisk or use a rubber spatula to stir gently to combine.
• Sprinkle the flour and oats over the top, then with a rubber spatula, gently incorporate, just until the flour disappears.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing it evenly (I like to use a batter or ice cream scoop for this). The cups will be very full. If desired, sprinkle on a few oats on top for decoration.
• Bake for 24 to 29 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Super moist breads like pumpkin bread can be hard to gauge; to be 100% certain, use an instant read thermometer. The center of a muffin should register 200 degrees F. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then with a butter knife, gently loosen the muffins and transfer them to the rack to finishing cooling (or for as long as you can resist devouring them). The muffins will be very delicate while still warm, but will firm up more as they cool.

HEALTHY PUMPKIN OAT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• To a large bowl, add the pumpkin, applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and canola oil. Whisk these ingredients together with a wire whisk until they're combined.
• To the wet ingredients, add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt and spices. Mix the dry ingredients together a little bit with your fingers before using a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don't over-mix here, but stop as soon as you see the flour disappear.
• Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups you've prepared with paper liners. Sprinkle a few oats and a few pumpkin seeds onto the top of each muffin before putting them in the oven to bake.
• Bake the muffins for 17-19 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or until the tops lose their shine and they bounce back to the touch.
• Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the tin onto a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying!

HEALTHY PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). If necessary, grease all 12 cups of your muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and didn't require any grease).
• In a large bowl, beat the oil and maple syrup or honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs, and beat well. Add the pumpkin purée, milk, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, vanilla extract and salt.
• Add the flour and oats to the bowl and mix with a large spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). If you'd like to add any additional mix-ins***, like nuts, chocolate or dried fruit, fold them in now.
• Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with about a tablespoon of oats, followed by a light sprinkle of raw sugar and/or pumpkin spice blend if you'd like. Bake muffins for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
• Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. These muffins are delicate until they cool down. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan.
• These muffins taste even better after they have rested for a couple of hours! They'll keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They keep well in the freezer in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months (just defrost individual muffins as needed).

PUMPKIN SPICE HEALTHY BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
• Place raisins in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with water. Microwave on high until plump, about 70 seconds. Drain.
• Beat milk and eggs together in a bowl; mix in bran cereal. Let stand until cereal softens, about 5 minutes.
• Mix raisins, canned pumpkin, honey, apples, and butter gently into the cereal mixture. Add flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and baking powder; mix batter gently until combined.
• Spoon batter into the lined muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack; let cool for 40 minutes.

MAKE THESE HEALTHY PUMPKIN MUFFINS IN YOUR BLENDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin-cup liners, round pieces of parchment paper, or spray the tin with cooking spray.
• In a blender, process the oats until they have the consistency of flour, about 1 minute.
• Combine the remaining ingredients with the oat flour in the blender; blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
• Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with toppings of your choice.
• Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.
