These pumpkin oatmeal muffins aren't just healthy and virtuous. They're enough of a treat to enjoy for their own sweet sake, especially in pumpkin season.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Combine the egg, pumpkin, milk and oil; add to the dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in oats and raisins.
  2. Fill 18 greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and pie spice; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle 1 rounded teaspoon over each muffin. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.
  3. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
