Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins Recipe

Nothing smells or tastes better than an easy fall breakfast on a cool, breezy and foggy morning. I decided to make these Oatmeal Pumpkin Muffins and I couldn't wait to share them! They were fairly easy to make and I knew I made the right choice by stocking up on pumpkin puree.

Why These Muffins are Perfect for Fall

This pumpkin muffin recipe reminds me of fall. This recipe calls for a creamy yogurt combined with pumpkin spice and puree, and rolled oats for a delicious and flavorful breakfast or snack recipe. Pumpkin is rich in vitamins and fiber and rolled oats can help lower cholesterol.

The last several mornings I have woken up and made myself breakfast. I'm not used to that as it's been protein bars and on-the-go snacks for so long. If you enjoy this healthy breakfast recipe, you may also want to try my Healthy Pumpkin Waffles or Pumpkin French Toast Sticks.

Feel free to customize these muffins to your liking. You can use almond milk instead of regular milk or add chocolate chips. You can also replace the almond extract with vanilla extract.

Quick Update on My Health

I was taking 7–10 medications a day, but I’m now down to about 5–7, along with cough syrup every four hours. I use my inhaler at night since my cough tends to worsen before bed. I'm still not 100%, but I feel like the medication is helping. I’ve been more active and my daily walks have made a big difference in my energy levels and mood.
