PIN IT

1. Prep your oven & tin: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a muffin tin.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, stir oats, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt.
4. Fold together: Gently add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
5. Scoop & bake: Divide batter evenly into muffin cups (they’ll be about ¾ full). Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool & enjoy: Let muffins rest 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

The kitchen will smell incredible—warm, nutty, and full of cozy fall vibes.
