Pumpkin is such a versatile ingredient! It’s also naturally sweet, so it works very well in healthy recipes. That’s why I created these Healthy Pumpkin Muffins. Naturally sweetened, low calorie, topped with a delicious maple oat crumble. This recipe is a keeper! Make it with me!
Pumpkin
I really do love pumpkin! It has a great flavor, a bold orange color, and it can be used in a wide variety of recipes. From breads, to cookies and cakes, and everything in between. These Healthy Pumpkin Muffins are a real treat!
This recipe calls for canned pumpkin. You can use any canned pumpkin brand that you prefer!
Maple Crumble Topping
What really makes this recipe over the top delicious, is the maple crumble I added to the top of each muffin!
The crumble is simple, old fashion oats, chopped pecans, and maple syrup! Each bite with the crumble in it is a real treat! So yummy!
