Five-Spice Peanut and Pumpkin Muffins image

Pumpkins, nuts and spice - it's a taste of fall. Adding peanut butter to muffin batter packs extra protein and helps keeps the muffins moist. This recipe can also make a delicious loaf; simply bake at 350°F (180°C) for an hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean

2 tablespoons large flake oats
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin pan. Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, peanuts and brown sugar in a small bowl, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir flours with sugar, baking powder, five-spice powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin with oil, water, eggs and vanilla. Then whisk in peanut butter. Pour onto flour mixture and stir just until combined. Mixture will be quite thick.
