Towards the end of my pregnancy with Eli, I got it into my head that the best thing to stockpile my freezer with wasn’t meals, but muffins. While it probably would’ve been prudent of me to stockpile both, I loved having those muffins as something easy to grab and munch on all day long. With the slew of babies that my friends have been having, I’m back to muffin mode.

  • 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour

  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

Crumble Topping:

  • 1/2 cup Oats
  • 1/3 cup Flour
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 cup Cold Butter
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts

Directions:

Heat oven to 350. Combine both flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Pile the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, applesauce, vanilla on top of the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until just combined — it will be a fairly wet batter. Portion into greased muffins cups, filling them 3/4 of the way to the top.

Make the crumble topping:

Combine oatmeal, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into chunks and mix into the dry ingredients, mixing with hands until small pea sized sizes form. Gently mix in the walnuts. Crumble the topping over the top of the muffin batter. Bake muffins for 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy these delicious and healthy little treats!!
