These one bowl pumpkin muffins are made with oat flour (making them gluten-free), pumpkin puree and creamy natural peanut butter for a protein boost while keeping them soft and fluffy! Naturally sweetened with maple syrup they are the perfect pick me up with (health) benefits!

These pumpkin muffins are irresistible! Seriously, the proof is in the pictures. Haha. I instantly regretted my decision to try to snap these photos while Wylder was running around, BUT it did give me full confidence that you would love them!

This easy pumpkin muffin recipe comes together quickly! It’s made with simple ingredients you may even have in your pantry and everything can be mixed into one bowl for minimal mess and clean up! And just like that, you’ve got a delicious breakfast or snack ready to go!

I used oat flour in these which has become a pretty big staple for me with baking. I love how it adds a nice little boost of fiber and extra vitamins while still keeping them nice and fluffy. You can even make your own oat flour! It is so easy! And a fraction of the cost of buying it.

How to Make your Own Oat Flour

Making your own oat flour is so easy! All you need is:

Rolled oats
A high-speed blender

Add oats to your blender. Blitz up until they are a flour like consistency, 10-30 seconds depending on your blender!

How to Store Oat Flour

I like to blend up a big batch and keep it in an airtight container so that it’s ready whenever I need it! Keep it in a cool dry place like your pantry or even your freezer for up to 3 months.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins

One thing I want to mention is that if you are on a true gluten-free diet, not all oats are gluten free! Regular oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat rye or barley so be sure to buy oats that are labeled “gluten-free”! This will be clearly stated on the package.
