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.

Why Choose Homemade

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. Homemade meals like this one, not only smell amazing, but make you feel amazing. The ingredients are the perfect combination of fall with a delicious mixture of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and almond extract.
