Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (plain, unsweetened) Mashed
  • 2 large eggs Whisked
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plain yogurt Prepared
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour Sifted
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (uncooked) Rolled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Measured
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (xylitol-free) Optional. Smooth or chunky.

Equipment

  • Standard muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • measuring cups,
  • Measuring spoons
  • Toothpick
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners. This will prevent the muffins from sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, whisked eggs, and unsweetened plain yogurt. Stir until thoroughly blended into a smooth mixture. If using, add the xylitol-free peanut butter now.

  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and baking soda. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined to evenly distribute the baking soda.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The muffins should be firm to the touch and lightly golden brown.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures they don’t become soggy.
