Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

Here are the ingredients that you need to follow to complete this recipe:

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup maple or pancake sryup
• 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• pinch salt, optional and to taste
• 3 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats (do not use quick-cook or instant)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Here are the instructions that you need to follow to make these muffins:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pan in 11 of the cavities. Now you can set it aside.
2. To a large bowl, add the first 9 ingredients (through optional salt), and whisk to combine.
3. Add the oats, baking powder, and stir to combine.
4. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
5. Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4-cup measure, evenly distribute the batter into 11 of the cavities (don’t use all 12, muffins will be too skimpy). Each cavity should be nearly full since muffins don’t rise much.
6. Bake for about 23 minutes, or until tops are set both visually and when touched lightly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs dangling, but no batter (toothpick test is tricky because you’ll likely hit chocolate patches). Don’t overbake because muffins will be prone to drying out.
7. Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 20 minutes before removing and placing on a rack to cool completely. Don’t rush the cooling process and attempt to remove muffins from pan too soon because they’ll be prone to breaking. It’s much easier to remove them when cooled completely.
8. Muffins will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
