One Bowl Pumpkin Spice Muffins made with whole wheat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, and all of your favorite fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Long live allllllll the pumpkin recipes! I am a huge fan of these pumpkin spiced muffins and I can’t wait for you to make them, too. They are made with whole wheat flour and oatmeal, lots of pumpkin, and plenty of those fall spices that make your house smell amazing while they bake. These muffins are light, fluffy, sweet, and all around delicious.
They make the perfect breakfast, after school snack, addition to a lunchbox, or little treat to eat with a hot cup of cinnamon tea. They also freeze well which means you can make a double batch and keep some on hand for busy times. I also like that these spicy muffins cook up great if you make 12 big muffins or 18 smaller muffins – you get to choose what works best for you – just see the notes at the end of the recipe on adjusting the cooking time according to size. And if you’re on of those people who just can’t get enough pumpkin, I have a whole post dedicated to all things pumpkin.

Popular Substitutions
- If you don’t have all the spices called for in the recipe, you can swap out the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. It’s delicious either way. Pumpkin pie spice normally has the addition of allspice and ginger, both of which are delicious in this recipe.
- You can use melted butter or coconut oil in this recipe. I’m sure it would work with canola or vegetable oil, too, and I bet you could even substitute applesauce for the oil, too. So many options!

Yes, if you’re in a jam, all purpose flour will work fine.
