Healthy Pumpkin Flax Muffins Recipes

FLAXSEED PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
• Grease a muffin tin (it makes 9 muffins) or use muffin cases.
• Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
• Add the butter, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla and stir until combine thoroughly.
• Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes until the tops are firm.
• Blend all of the topping ingredients together until smooth (I use a hand blender but a fork and elbow power is good too!).
• When the muffins are cool, spread the topping over them.
• Eat and enjoy!

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).

OATMEAL FLAX PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Kick the tires & light the fires to 350 degrees.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly in a large bowl.
• Take the eggs, pumpkin puree, water, applesauce and brown sugar and mix them all really well in a smaller bowl. This is where you have to do the main combining of ingredients; pumpkin becomes tough when over mixed so you have to really make sure you mix it well at this point. Add the raisins into the wet mixture as well.
• When the two bowls have been mixed completely, make a well in the dry ingredients.
• Pour in the wet and mix slowly until they are just combined.
• Grease a muffin tin and because you are using no oil in the baking I suggest this rather than paper liners. These babies stick to whatever you bake them in. Fill the 12 muffin tins up equally, because they are whole wheat flour based they will not be too large.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched and are perfectly risen and brown.

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.
