Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
