Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Stir the soaked oatmeal into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your moist oatmeal pumpkin muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
