Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). If necessary, grease all 12 cups of your muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and didn't require any grease).
- In a large bowl, beat the oil and maple syrup or honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs, and beat well. Add the pumpkin purée, milk, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, vanilla extract and salt.
- Add the flour and oats to the bowl and mix with a large spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). If you'd like to add any additional mix-ins***, like nuts, chocolate or dried fruit, fold them in now.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with about a tablespoon of oats, followed by a light sprinkle of raw sugar and/or pumpkin spice blend if you'd like. Bake muffins for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. These muffins are delicate until they cool down. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan.
- These muffins taste even better after they have rested for a couple of hours! They'll keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They keep well in the freezer in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months (just defrost individual muffins as needed).

FAT-FREE BANANA-PUMPKIN MUFFINS
This is a recipe I made up to make muffins that were fat-free, so just a little more wholesome. Basically, it's a mix of pumpkin bread and banana bread, but without butter or oil. This recipe is good for adapting to those that do not care about it being fat-free. Adding mini chocolate chips makes the muffins sweeter, but still not too unhealthy.

Tips:
- Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree. Canned pumpkin puree is a convenient option, but if you have fresh pumpkin, you can roast and puree it yourself. Just be sure to drain off any excess liquid before using it in the muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Line the muffin tins with paper liners. This will make it easier to remove the muffins from the tins.
- Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake, so don't fill the tins too full.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
These easy pumpkin muffins are moist, flavorful, and low in fat. They are the perfect fall treat for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make these muffins perfectly every time. So grab a pumpkin and get baking!
