Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

Easy, one-bowl healthy pumpkin muffins made with oatmeal, honey (no sugar!), yogurt, and warm fall spices. Moist, fluffy, and so delicious!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or melted and cooled coconut oil
- ½ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt at room temperature
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg freshly grated is an amazing upgrade! Use this zester to grate whole nutmeg.
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour*
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons, rolled oats plus additional for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Light coat a 12-inch standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, and Greek yogurt. Once blended, whisk in the egg and vanilla. Make sure the ingredients are smooth and well blended.
- Whisk in the pumpkin purée.
- Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and salt over the top. Whisk or use a rubber spatula to stir gently to combine.
- Sprinkle the flour and oats over the top, then with a rubber spatula, gently incorporate, just until the flour disappears.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing it evenly (I like to use a batter or ice cream scoop for this). The cups will be very full. If desired, sprinkle on a few oats on top for decoration.
- Bake for 24 to 29 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Super moist breads like pumpkin bread can be hard to gauge; to be 100% certain, use an instant read thermometer. The center of a muffin should register 200°F. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then with a butter knife, gently loosen the muffins and transfer them to the rack to finish cooling (or for as long as you can resist devouring them). The muffins will be very delicate while still warm, but will firm up more as they cool.
Notes
- TO STORE: Since these healthy pumpkin muffins are so moist, I recommend storing them in the refrigerator in a paper towel-lined airtight storage container for up to 4 days. The pumpkin flavor becomes even more pronounced on day 2.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze muffins in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Thaw and enjoy as desired (I like to individually wrap my muffins so I can grab them for quick breakfasts and snacks).
- *For the white whole wheat flour, you can substitute whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, or a blend of the two. Regular whole wheat flour can also be used, though the muffins will have a heavier texture and more pronounced wheat taste.
