Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

Healthy Pumpkin Muffins


  • Author: Harper Callahan
  • Total Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1⅔ cups pumpkin purée (not pie filling)

  • 3⅓ large eggs (see hack for exact portion)

  • 1⅓ cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

  • 1½ tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1¾ tsp vanilla extract

  • 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1¼ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 tbsp + 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1¾ tsp baking powder

  • ¾ tsp baking soda

  • ¾ tsp sea salt


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease 20 muffin tins.

  • Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, eggs, milk, oil, maple syrup, vinegar, and vanilla until smooth.

  • Fold in dry ingredients: Add flours, spices, baking powder, soda, and salt. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!

  • Fill muffin cups nearly to the top for domed tops.

  • Bake for 20–24 minutes, until tops spring back and a toothpick comes out clean.

  • Cool in the pan 5 mins, then transfer to a rack. Let them rest—flavor deepens as they cool!
