Blender Oatmeal
Pumpkin Muffins
By Katherine Andrew, MPH, RD, LDN
With all this awful weather we’ve been having my family has been retreating to the kitchen most days. This muffin recipe is one of my go-to recipes as a healthy treat to add to lunch boxes or snacks. It’s naturally gluten free, uses only one bowl (the blender!), chock full of protein and nutrients, and, best of all, delicious.
Use any kind of milk (cow’s milk or plant based options) that your family prefers, and mix up the nut or seed butter based on preferences and allergies. You can even substitute coconut oil if you can’t do nuts or seeds.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 can Pumpkin puree
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (cow’s or plant based)
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1/4 cup peanut, almond or sunflower seed butter
- 1/3 cup Maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional (2-4 Tbsp Collagen or Protein powder)
Instructions:
- Turn on the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter or use cooking spray to coat a mini muffin pan thoroughly.
- Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to a blender or food processor.
- Turn on and blend until well combined, usually 30-60 seconds.
- Add more milk by the tablespoon if it’s too thick until the consistency of thick pancake batter.
- Spoon or pour batter into the prepared muffin pan.
- Bake for 17-18 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
- Allow to cool, then devour!
