When we were growing up, our Mom always made muffins. I loved getting home from school with that muffin aroma floating around the house. My daughter just started school so I made sure I had some fresh muffins waiting for her!
If you like pumpkin recipes, then you are going to love these! These muffins taste so good and are on the healthier side. They are made with whole wheat and they still will have your family coming back for more! Hope you like them as much as we did!

Is it possible to have nutritional information on this??
These look wonderful. Will make for my grandkids when they start school next week! I press the “pin it” icon, but Pinterest tells me the image is too small and it won’t let me save your recipe?!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. What if I don’t have wheat flour; will the recipe work with all purpose flour?
Just made these and they are delicious!!
Generally, you can replace white flour with whole wheat flour of the same type (bread for bread, all purpose for all purpose), substituting one for one. However, products made with whole wheat flour will usually be more dense. Always remember when using any all purpose flour for items such as muffins and cookies to mix as little as possible to avoid forming glutens, which will toughen the final result. Hope this helps!
This looks amazing. I have leftover pumpkin puree, but I didn’t know what to use it for because everything is sweets! (I love to keep things healthy. 🙂 ) I think I could use this for a quick breakfast since I am a Dental Hygiene student with an unfathomable homework load.
I was wondering though if you think it’s possible to substitute the sugar for applesauce?
Has anyone turned this into a loaf…wondering on baking time for a loaf (maybe a double batch loaf)? Thanks!
I tried to find some information for you on substituting applesauce for sugar in baking. Here is some info I found for you and hoping it will help!
“For cakes and bakes, you can reduce the sugar content by up to half when you use apple sauce. All you need to do is cut the sugar in half, then add the same amount of apple sauce plus about 1/3 more. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, you can use 1/2 a cup of sugar and about 3/4 a cup of apple sauce (1/2 a cup, plus about 1/3 more). For this substitution, you will need to cut down a bit on the recipe?s liquids. Reduce the recipe?s main liquid by about 1/4 for every cup of apple sauce added.”
These muffins are amazing! I did a nutrition break down on them and they really are healthy and delicious. I love that you cut half of the flour out with oats – it gives them a great texture. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I just featured this recipe on my blog and I’d love if you’d check it out! 🙂

I will use the milk next time though – I also used Dark chocolate chips again very good and I’m sure full of fiber with the whole wheat flour and old fashioned oats – thanks for the recipe finally a recipe where you use the entire can of pumpkin too! No waste!
Love these recipes!
This may seem like an odd question but how do the 6 measure flour? Scoop and level? Or lightly spoon into cup and level?
We scoop it up and level it out.
I would love to know that answer also.
