Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup hemp seeds
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • ½ tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • cup honey
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • tsp. nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients-- yogurt, eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and honey. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients, excluding the hemp hearts or any optional add-ins (see below). Combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  • In thirds, add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding the muffin batter as you go.
  • Once everything is incorporated, fold in hemp hearts.
  • In a lined muffin tin, pour batter into each cup. This recipe creates 12 muffins, and each one should be about ¾ full of wet batter.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick pulls out cleanly.
  • Allow to cool and enjoy! Muffins will stay fresh in an airtight container on the counter for about a week. Otherwise, you can freeze any extras!
