Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

1/2 cup milk (dairy or any non-dairy alternative)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it generously with oil or non-stick spray.

Blend the Oats: In a high-speed blender or food processor, add in the rolled oats. Blend on high until the oats have turned into a fine flour-like consistency. This will serve as the base for your muffins.

Incorporate Wet Ingredients: To the ground oats in the blender, add the pumpkin puree, milk of your choice, maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well-combined.

Prepare the Dry Mix: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Ensure these dry ingredients are evenly mixed to prevent any uneven flavor in the muffins.

Combine Everything: Carefully pour the dry mixture into the blender with the wet ingredients. Pulse a few times until just incorporated; be careful not to overmix. If you'd like, gently fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips with a spatula for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

Fill the Muffin Cups: Use a spoon or a mini ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.

Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool Down: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they don’t become soggy from steam.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 12 muffins

Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, serve the muffins on a decorative plate or stand. Dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon before serving for an elegant touch. Pair them with a cup of your favorite spiced tea or coffee for a delightful autumn treat!
