Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup quick oats
- 3/4 cup flour (whole wheat or all-purpose)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Add in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until blended.
- Sprinkle in the baking soda and cinnamon, mixing to combine.
- Stir in the quick oats and flour until just incorporated; the batter should be lumpy but with no visible dry flour.
- If desired, fold the chocolate chips into the mixture.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin puree and pure maple syrup to enhance flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter to ensure moist muffins.
