Testimonials about Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins 

Bree says, “I eat GF and vegan for food sensitivities and I tried these last night. I subbed GF flour (I didn’t have any oat flour) and monk fruit for the coconut sugar. They turned out great! My whole family ate them for breakfast and the kids loved them (with butter of course). Thank you!”

Elizabeth says, “Made these tonight and they are a perfect morning treat! I only use your recipes for baking so thank you.”

Kathy says, “These muffins turned out wonderfully. The spices and level of sweetness are perfect; they are moist, tender, and flavorful. Being top 8 allergy-free, I am on the lookout for nutritious, yummy, safe recipes, and this one fits the bill… Thank you for this delicious recipe that will now be a go-to for me!”

Jackie says, “Once again, another delicious reliable recipe from Demeter. Ingredients I have on hand–nice to have a pumpkin muffin for fall. Thank you!”

Great Tools for the Best Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

• Muffin batter scoop – 1 of my top baking tools. I highly recommend using this muffin batter scoop (shhh… it’s secretly an ice cream scoop!) to scoop muffin batter for easier & more even batter distribution.
• Non-stick Parchment Muffin Liners – half the time, I use these nonstick parchment muffin liners. These babies are the gold standard in muffin liners. They are so nonstick that they naturally peel off on their own while your muffins are cooling! Perfect for folks who hate any kind of liners sticking to their muffins!
• Unbleached Muffin Liners – the other half of the time, I love using these unbleached muffin liners! They’re compostable, stick *just the right amount* to your muffins (so the liners don’t fall off mid-cooling) and are so easy to use. Bonus: you get to feel good about them not being bleached!

So should we all go parasailing together? I wish!! For now, let’s settle/totally do something better and bake these healthy pumpkin oatmeal muffins together! Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing in these baking adventures with me and your loved ones. ‘Til the next one…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Notes

Where to Buy Ingredients: Gluten Free Rolled Oats | Coconut Sugar | Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil | Golden Ground Flaxseed

A Note on Homemade Oat Flour: *If using homemade oat flour, make sure to blend the flour until very fine and sift the flour to remove coarse bits of oats that could create less than ideal results. Store until needed, then measure the amount required for the recipe.

**You may substitute all of these spices with 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.

Storing Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature. Best the first 3 days. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

Freezing Instructions: Cool completely, then store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container or bag. Keep for 1-2 months. Allow to thaw for 20-40 mins before enjoying. Or, heat in the microwave in 10-second increments until just warm.
