Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil*
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup pumpkin purée
1/4 cup milk of choice (I used almond milk)
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice or cloves)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour**
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats, plus more for sprinkling on top
Optional: 2 teaspoons turbinado (raw) sugar for a sweet crunch

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



Fat-Free Banana-Pumpkin Muffins image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
4 large overripe bananas
¾ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup egg whites
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon grated orange zest
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 ⅛ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips

  • Mash bananas in a large bowl. Mix in brown sugar, pumpkin, and egg whites.
  • Mix allspice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and orange zest together in a small bowl. Set aside 1/2 teaspoon of mixture.
  • Combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and remaining spice mixture in another large bowl. Slowly add banana-pumpkin mixture and mix until completely moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Place a pinch of reserved 1/2 teaspoon spice mixture on top of each muffin.

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!
