Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (either canned or fresh)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey if preferred)

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a richer taste)

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

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added crunch)

1/4 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vegetable oil, milk, and the eggs. Mix until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.

        Combine Mixtures: Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently stir the two mixtures together until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender. If you like, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This amount is perfect for allowing the muffins to rise without spilling over during baking.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool Down: Once baked, take the muffins out of the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: These delightful muffins can be savored warm or at room temperature. For a delicious twist, serve them with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a light drizzle of honey!
