Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (for topping, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping, optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup milk, 1 beaten egg, ⅓ cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined (about 15-20 strokes). Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice for the topping. Set aside.
  6. Using an ice cream scoop or ⅓-cup measure, divide the oatmeal mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over each cup, pressing gently.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on their own, with a drizzle of maple syrup, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before baking for better texture. Use room temperature ingredients to prevent coconut oil from solidifying. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats. For vegan, replace egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk.
