Description

Soft, spiced, and topped with oat streusel, these pumpkin oatmeal muffins are perfect for cozy fall mornings or as an afternoon snack.


Ingredients

Scale

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup old fashioned oats

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup 100% pumpkin puree

1 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)

½ cup whole milk (or non-dairy milk)

½ cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

**Streusel Topping**

¼ cup old fashioned oats

¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter (softened)


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line or grease a muffin pan.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

5. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

6. In a small bowl, mix streusel ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffin batter.

7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Do not overmix to keep muffins soft.

Quick oats can be used for a smoother texture.

Substitute applesauce for oil or eggs (not both).

For egg-free version, use ½ cup unsweetened applesauce.

Mini muffins take 11–14 minutes to bake.

Add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins work great.
