Halloween Muffins

Tim makes these pumpkin-based muffins with Ella on Halloween morning. Not too sweet, they're a great breakfast or snack choice to counter the influx of candy later in the day.

Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée 
  • 1/4 cup milk
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Grease a standard muffin tin (or line with paper liners).

  2. Mix flour, spices, baking soda, salt, and oats in a mixing bowl. Break eggs into the dry mix and stir briefly with a fork. Add other wet ingredients and stir with a form until just mixed.

  3. Spoon into muffin tin. Sprinkle oats on top if desired.

  4. Bake 20 - 25 minutes until tops are golden brown.

*Make your own pumpkin spice blend:

  1. Blend together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or cloves.
