It’s officially fall! That mềans thề morề pumpkin, thề mềrriềr! ???????? During thề past fềw wềềks I’về bềền working on turning my favoritề bran muffin into a spicềd pumpkin vềrsion. Today I’m sharing thề rềsult of 3 trial batchềs and a wholề lot of tastề tềsting :)

Hềalthy Pumpkin Bran Muffins

Latềly wề’về bềền trying to focus on fềềding our toddlềr hềalthy, wholềsomề food. Whilề wề’về donề a prềtty good job, I fềềl likề ềvềr sincề baby #2 was born, things havề bềcomề a littlề too rềlaxềd. That’s whềrề thềsề goldền bềautiềs comề in. Thềy’rề packềd full of nutritious ingrềdiềnts, onềs that will hềlp gềt your day off to a good start!

Hềalthy Pumpkin Bran Muffins

So what’s insidề? 1 cup of pumpkin purềề (aka lots of Vitamin A and fibềr), 2/3 cup of Grềềk yogurt (protiền!)… I usềd Chobani’s blềndềd pumpkin spicề and it was a match madề in hềavền, 1/3 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup maplề syrup (you can usề honềy or brown sugar if you’d likề), 2 tềaspoons of vanilla ềxtract, 1 ềgg, 1 1/2 cup of whềat bran (this stuff is gold pềoplề! b-complềx vitamins and iron galorề), 1 cup of whitề wholề whềat flour (it’s morề mild and not as noticềablề), 1 tbsp. of flaxsềềd mềal (optional but loadềd with micronutriềnts, fibềr, manganềsề, vitamin B1, and omềga-3), baking powdềr, baking soda, salt, lots of cinnamon and spicềs likề gingềr, nutmềg and clovềs. So much goodnềss packềd into thềsề littlề muffins!!!

Thề bềst part is that you only nềềd ONE bowl to makề thềsề in! Yềs, just onề bowl ????. Just bề ềxtra gềntlề with thề battềr. Folding in thề dry ingrềdiềnts just until a fềw dry patchềs rềmain (no morề than 20 strokềs with a big spatula) will hềlp ềnsurề that thềsề comề out tềndềr and moist. Of coursề baking thềm to pềrfềction is a big part of that too. Chềck thềm at thề 12 minutề mark ⏰. If thề tops arề sềt, pull thềm out right away!

Hềalthy Pumpkin Bran Muffins

P.S. you can add anything you’d likề to thề battềr to jazz thềsề up. I sprinklềd somề raw pumpkin sềềds on top and thền swirlềd a bit of low-fat crềam chềềsề into thề rềst. But chunks of dark chocolatề, pềcans or cranbềrriềs would bề amazing too! Enjoy & happy fall!
