Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray or oil.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is uniform.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk them together. Then, add the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk these wet ingredients together until smooth and completely integrated.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the mixture just until no dry flour remains visible. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and delightful bursts of flavor.

          Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, carefully distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one roughly 2/3 full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they're ready!

              Cool Down: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins sit in the pan for about 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up slightly. Afterwards, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: These pumpkin spice muffins are delightful served warm or at room temperature. They make a fantastic breakfast treat or a cozy snack paired with your favorite hot beverage!
