Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

These healthy pumpkin-oatmeal muffins will get you in the mood for fall. Sprinkling the muffins with pecans adds a nutty crunch to every bite. Serve them for breakfast or as a grab-and-go snack.

Ingredients

3 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ cups reduced-fat milk
1 cup unseasoned pumpkin puree
½ cup light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¾ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Stir oats, milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, vanilla, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt and eggs together in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle evenly with pecans.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
