Oatmeal Pumpkin Muffins are soft, moist, and filled with warm pumpkin spice flavor. Made with wholesome oats and pumpkin puree, they are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or meal prep throughout the year.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  10. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Quick oats may be substituted for rolled oats, though the texture will be slightly softer.
  • Add chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, or pecans for extra flavor and texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and vegetable oil.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze cooled muffins for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
