Pumpkin is a Fall must have. Lately, I have been baking up a storm. I love having healthy backed goods in the freezer for lunches or as a healthy on the go snack. These pumpkin oat muffins freeze well, that is if they make it to the freezer. These delicious pumpkin oat muffins are easy to make, healthy and taste amazing.
The girls helped me make these delicious pumpkin oat muffins. I add oats whenever I can, my youngest daughter is not a fan of oats but I try to incorporate them in our food as often as I can. Involving kids in the kitchen is a great way to increase their acceptance. In this recipe, I made my own oat flour by pulsing oats in my blender. The thing I love about muffins is the add in’s are endless. You can easily add raisins, carrots, walnuts, and/or homemade applesauce. You really can’t go wrong.
