If you want to get even healthier, you could add raisins instead of chocolate chips and add some walnuts in for some crunch!  

These would absolutely pair perfectly with my Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte.  It's super yummy!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats add ½ more cup if you want it more oat-ier
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1½ cups canned pumpkin puree
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil or canola oil
• ¼ cup vanilla almond milk or whatever milk you prefer
• 2 large eggs or 1 whole egg and 1 egg white
• ¼ to ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for tops of muffins only
• Optional additions: dark chocolate chips raisins, pecans, walnuts, dried cranberries

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Using mini muffin pan, spray with non-stick spray.
• Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl; then stir in oats, brown sugar.
• In a medium bowl, combine eggs, oil, milk and pumpkin, blending well.
• Stir pumpkin mixture into dry ingredients until just moist.
• Fill muffin tins with batter, then sprinkle tops with mini chocolate chips, then bake for 8-10 minutes, until tops spring back when lightly touched.

Notes

• You could use all-purpose white flour or all whole wheat flour if you prefer. All whole wheat will make the muffins more dense, but healthier - fyi.  
• Don't overmix muffins, to avoid forming glutens, and and end result of tough muffins. 
• Leave the chocolate chips off if you don't want the extra calories or use sugar-free.
