  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (ground into oat flour)
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup nut butter
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.

    2. Grind rolled oats into a fine flour and transfer to a bowl; stir in baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

    3. In another bowl whisk pumpkin puree, eggs or flax eggs, maple syrup, nut butter, and vanilla until smooth.

    4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold until just combined.

    5. Fold in optional chocolate chips or nuts.

    6. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full, and tap the pan to release air bubbles.
