MAKE THESE HEALTHY PUMPKIN MUFFINS IN YOUR BLENDER



Make These Healthy Pumpkin Muffins In Your Blender image

These healthy pumpkin muffins clock in at just under 100 calories per serving-and you'd never guess that they were made in a blender. To make the batter, simply process all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. There are no endless piles of bowls and spoons to clean-it almost feels like magic. Once baked, these pumpkin muffins are light, fluffy, and full of pumpkin-spice flavor. While store-bought muffins can range from anywhere to 300-600 calories, and add more than 20g of fat, 70g of carbs, and 50g of sugar to your day, these ultra-satisfying muffins pack in almost 5g of protein for less than 100 calories, 3g of fat, 6g of sugar, and 16g of carbs. Be sure to customize your muffins by adding in your favorite toppings before they bake. Chopped pecans, diced cinnamon-apples, or chopped walnuts would all work great. After baking, top with a little cinnamon-Greek yogurt, or almond butter for a nutritious breakfast or snack.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 cup 2% Greek yogurt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin-cup liners, round pieces of parchment paper, or spray the tin with cooking spray.
  • In a blender, process the oats until they have the consistency of flour, about 1 minute.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients with the oat flour in the blender; blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil*
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup pumpkin purée
1/4 cup milk of choice (I used almond milk)
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice or cloves)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour**
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats, plus more for sprinkling on top
Optional: 2 teaspoons turbinado (raw) sugar for a sweet crunch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). If necessary, grease all 12 cups of your muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and didn't require any grease).
  • In a large bowl, beat the oil and maple syrup or honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs, and beat well. Add the pumpkin purée, milk, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, vanilla extract and salt.
  • Add the flour and oats to the bowl and mix with a large spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). If you'd like to add any additional mix-ins***, like nuts, chocolate or dried fruit, fold them in now.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with about a tablespoon of oats, followed by a light sprinkle of raw sugar and/or pumpkin spice blend if you'd like. Bake muffins for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. These muffins are delicate until they cool down. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan.
  • These muffins taste even better after they have rested for a couple of hours! They'll keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They keep well in the freezer in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months (just defrost individual muffins as needed).
