Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, or 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup with melted coconut oil or butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter until smooth.
  4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Fold in optional mix-ins if using.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid.
  6. Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops are set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffin tin cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove oatmeal cups and cool completely on the rack.

Notes

Don’t skip the 5-minute rest time for the batter; it ensures tender cups. Measure pumpkin puree carefully to avoid excess moisture. Use room temperature eggs to prevent coconut oil from seizing. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking. Let cups cool completely before removing from tin to prevent crumbling. These freeze well for up to 3 months.
