Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

January 20, 2009

Oooooh, this was a good batch of muffins! :mrgreen:

Makes 9 muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup canned pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375*F
  • Coat muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line muffins cups.
  • Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl; blend well.
  • Pour batter evenly into muffin tins.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  • Allow to cool, and enjoy!

These muffins smelled incredible while they were baking! Our apartment was filled with a sweet pumpkin pie aroma that made both Mal and I very excited to sample one of these muffins as soon as they came out of the oven.

Our verdict: DELISH!!! The muffins were extremely soft and moist on the inside with a firm, slightly grainy top. The raisins and walnuts added crunch and chew, and the flavor was described by Mal as “just like pumpkin pie.”

In addition to being simply delightful, these Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins pack a powerful nutritional punch with lots of Vitamin A as well as Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Iron, Potassium (and others), and they’re a good source of fiber. Delicious and nutritious! :mrgreen:


Spring it!

Fabulous recipe. Anything with pumpkin is a winner to me. But I’ve still got to make your chocolate pumpkin loaf first!

I just finished baking these. Sooo good. Thank you for sharing! I did make one change — instead of canola oil I used vanilla yogurt! Still came out very moist. Yummy yummy yummy! My new favorite muffin :D

Made these for a Christmas morning brunch – everyone loved them. Very easy to make. I used about 1.5 cups pumpkin which helped these stay moist.

For those of you who have pure pumpkin (not the mix), add in 1/2 cup extra brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon (instead of the 1/2 teaspoon), 1 teaspoon ginger and 1/2 teaspoon cloves. I just made them like that, and they are SO GOOD! WOW.

I am drooling right now, these “smell” amazing, can’t wait to make some!!

I don’t have canned pumpkin pie mix, just canned pumpin- would that be ok? and Apple sauce instead of Oil?

heather September 30, 2010 at 5:36 pm

Hi – I made these muffins last night but they did not fluff up like this. Any ideas what I did wrong? They were still yummy but just a little dense.

Jennie @ seejennrun October 26, 2010 at 8:20 am

These look delicious. Do you know approximately how many calories are in each muffin? I’m still a rough calorie counter and have a hard time determining the amount on baked goods. :)

Thank you!

I am going to make these muffins tonight! Very excited…I will let you know how they turn out. By the way, I am a new reader and I am reading your book. I am a Registered Dietitian and totally agree with your philosophy on eating! I am very much an everything in moderation kinda girl! I started a blog a while back but I guess you could say I am revamping it. I have always wanted to write as a Dietitian, so I figured a blog would be a good place to do it. Looking forward to trying the muffins.

Very good muffins. CHANGES: used canned pumpkin, then eyeballed cinnamon, clove, nutmeg & allspice (didn’t have any dried ginger on hand or else that would have gone in too. Instead of oil I used unsweetened applesauce (1:1). Broke open the sample one while still hot, hit it with a pat of butter and YUM… the rest are going on a canoe trip :)

I smelling them through the computer…. delicious! Better than any candle! One question- can I substitute organic pumpkin instead of the pumpkin pie filling?
