Pumpkin oatmeal muffins
It's time to celebrate all that fall has to offer, starting with these pumpkin oatmeal muffins.
They are incredibly soft and moist and so delicious.
They're also very easy to make. So whenever the baking mood strikes (or you just feel like a sweet snack,) these muffins are the answer.
Make them sparkle with a sprinkle of sugar, or get that sweet-salty thing going on with a little sea salt. Or be crazy and do both!
How to make pumpkin muffins
These fail-proof muffins are so simple to make. Here's what you're going to do:
- Blend the dry ingredients in your food processor. And just like that, you've made oat flour from whole oats!
- Whisk the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Don't worry if there are still a few chunks of pumpkin. It won't be completely smooth.
- It's time now to whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. We like to add some chocolate chips, just for good measure.
- Now all that's left to do it bake the muffins. See how easy that was?
