Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and prepare a 12 cup muffin tin with parchment liners or lightly spray with coconut oil spray. Set aside.
- To make turmeric spice combine all spices and stir together (you can make a double or triple batch and use for other recipes). Set aside.
- Prepare oat flour by placing rolled oats in a food processor or high-speed blender and processing until they are the consistency of silky flour.
- In a medium bowl combine oat flour, brown rice flour, baking soda, salt, and turmeric chai spice. Whisk to combine.
- In a larger bowl combine pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla and almond extract. Whisk well to combine.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet and stir together until just combined (do not overmix).
- Fill your muffin cups with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on wire rack for 10 minutes
- Serve warm or room temperature. Store in a sealed container for 5 days or freeze for 3+ months.
Notes
- You can replace the turmeric chai spice with 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice plus 1/2 tsp of turmeric
- You can also make the recipe using all oats and remove the brown rice flour, I liked the texture better with the mixed flours.
- Oat milk can be replaced with any milk
