Moist Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins with Warm Spices

Fall is finally feeling like it’s here — cooler mornings, rain, and pumpkin everything. Even if the cooler weather in Las Vegas doesn’t stick around, I’m embracing soups, stews, and pumpkin-flavored baked goods. Baking has always been my favorite, and today I’m sharing a super-easy pumpkin oatmeal muffin recipe that’s perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, snack, or healthier dessert.

These muffins are not overly sweet, so you can add dark chocolate chips, a drizzle of icing, or a touch of honey if you want them sweeter. I love them as-is, but chocolate chips often make their way into the batter around here.

Right now I’m 32 weeks pregnant and have been indulging in sweets and carbs more than usual, but these muffins still hit the spot. I baked one batch last week (about a dozen) to photograph, and they were gone in two days — I may have eaten two as soon as they were cool. My favorite way to enjoy them is chilled from the fridge. If you’re feeding a crowd, double the recipe. I hope you enjoy them — happy fall!
