Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups oat bran
½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
¼ cup molasses
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup pumpkin puree

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
Combine oat bran, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Combine milk, molasses, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl and mix well. Stir into dry ingredients until just moistened. Add pumpkin puree and mix just enough to evenly distribute; do not overstir.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
