Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Muffins Texture

These muffins are kind of unique when it comes to texture- they are not light, soft and fluffy like gluten free pumpkin oatmeal muffins, but more so similar to baked oatmeal. The texture is more dense and slightly chewy, but in muffin form! You are going to love these for breakfast or a snack!

How to make Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

Prepare

Fire up your oven to allow it to preheat while you work. Spray a muffin pan generously with oil and set it aside.

Mix

In a large bowl, add the ingredients up to the rolled oats and stir with a wire whisk until well combined. Next, add in all the remaining ingredients and stir until everything is incorporated.

Bake

Drop by spoonfuls into the muffin pan cavities and place it in the oven. Bake for a bit of time, then reduce the heat and continue baking until the muffins are done and a toothpick inserted in them comes out clean.

DEVOUR

Let the muffins cool COMPLETELY directly in the pan, then serve and enjoy!

Recipe Variations

As per usual, I encourage you to mix things up so that this recipe suits your preferences and/or dietary needs. If you want to make gluten free oatmeal pumpkin muffins, simply swap out the flour for your favorite 1:1 gluten free flour blend. If you want some extra crunch, chop up some walnuts or pecans and toss them into the batter. For rich and indulgent muffins, consider adding some dark or milk chocolate chips (dairy free if needed) or some dried cranberries to bring some fruit flavor!

How to store Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

These muffins last really well in both the fridge and freezer! To keep them chilled, simply store them in an airtight container and set them in the fridge for up to a week. To freeze, be sure to place them in a freezer style ziploc bag or freezer safe airtight container and label it. Then, pop it in the freezer! The muffins will last up to 3 months this way.
