Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Muffins

Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Muffins


  • Author: Susan Watson, Registered Dietitian

Description

A gluten-free fibre filled muffin recipe that can be batch baked and frozen. 


Ingredients

Scale

3 cups old-fashioned oats

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, homemade or store-bought

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk, plain or vanilla

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup maple syrup

3 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan cupcake liners.  Set aside.

Make OAT FLOUR: Puree oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency.  Add in the pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt, and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined.  Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, cranberries, maple syrup, oil and vanilla extract until evenly combined.  Fold the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredient mixture, and stir until the mixture is just combined.  (Try to avoid over-mixing.)

Portion the ingredients into prepared baking cups. 

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffins comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.

Serve warm.  Or let the muffins cool to room temperature, then store in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
