Amazing Pumpkin and Oatmeal Muffins

This soft, delicious, and nutritious muffin is a great addition to our breakfast in the Fall season! In this post, I will share this amazing pumpkin and oatmeal muffins recipe that the whole family will love.

Oh, pumpkin! So nutritious and tasty! I have to say; I love this homemade muffin recipe. It is kind of eating a pumpkin pie in a muffin but with a lot of nutritional benefits.

It’s so fluffy, and the spices come along really well. You can taste the cinnamon and cloves in each bite.

The pumpkin Puree

Yes, you can use canned pumpkin puree for this recipe, but I prefer fresh pumpkin.

In my previous post, “Delicious Pumpkin and Carrot Soup,” I talked about how I like to buy big fresh pumpkins, peel, cut, and freeze them to preserve them for a more extended period of time. This recipe was made with my frozen pumpkin.

It is so convenient because it is already peeled and cut, so I can take the portion I need; boil it for a few minutes until soft and smashed. I do feel the difference from a fresh pumpkin flavor, and it doesn’t contain any preservatives.
