Description
These Simple Pumpkin Pancake Muffins are a fantastic, grab-and-go twist on a fall breakfast classic. They have a light, fluffy texture and are packed with the cozy flavor of pumpkin and warm spices. This recipe is perfect for meal prep or a quick weekend breakfast and is much easier than standing over a griddle!
Ingredients
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener or granulated sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 cups fat-free milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 1/2 tbsp oil
Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously coat a 12-cup non-stick muffin tin with baking spray with flour.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sweetener/sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and oil until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are a good thing!
5. Fill each muffin cup to the top with batter.
6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before gently removing them and transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
8. Serve them warm with maple syrup.
Notes
For the best results, use pure canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Overmixing the batter is the most common mistake and will result in tough muffins.
These muffins are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
