Pumpkin Oat Muffins
Don't these look scrumptious? Trust me, they are. We had some leftover pumpkin puree and some browning bananas to use up and came up with these little buggers. The fruit keeps the muffins moist and flavorful, while the muesli topping adds just a little crunch and texture. Ready to start your day off the right (and delicious) way? Read on my veggie friends!
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup coconut oil 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2/3 cup pumpkin puree muesli & cinnamon for topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line muffin tins (makes 12). Mash bananas thoroughly in mixing bowl. Add sugar and coconut oil and stir until combined. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon, salt, flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add entire bowl of dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk together several times, until just combined. Add pumpkin puree to mixture and stir again, being careful not to over-mix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling about 3/4 of the way. Sprinkle with muesli and cinnamon and pop 'em in the oven! Bake for about 20 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins!

This is the second time I am making these muffins. This time, I am making mini muffins with mini vegan choc chips. My kids and I loved them last time and I am sure we will enjoy them as soon as they get out of the oven.

I dont have brown sugar so can I use regular sugar?

The flavor and texture will be slightly different, but otherwise it shouldn't really be a problem to use regular sugar!
Can I substitute the coconut oil for applesauce?

I have never tried it but wouldn't recommend it. The bananas here act as a binder, like applesauce. The oil helps to keep them moist. If you just don't have coconut oil, sub with vegetable oil. If you are looking to avoid oils all together you could try it, but I worry they may come out too dry. Good luck!

Those food items look very appetizing. I like cooking and I would love to try making some of these. Pumpkin oats muffins as it is called can be consumed by sugar patients too. The oats content makes it purely healthy. Thanks for the post.

Great recipe as posted, but I customized it a bit. Three bananas instead of two, olive oil instead of coconut oil (too much fat in coconut oil), a little less brown sugar and a smattering of dark-chocolate chips for extra flavor. One question: Why are they called Pumpkin "Oat" Muffins? Recipe doesn't call for oats.

Awesome! Just because they're top with oats and muesli :) Leave a Reply. |
