Healthy Eggless Pumpkin Muffins with Oats Flour

These soft and moist muffins are made with health friendly ingredients. These are refined sugar free and without any maida/all purpose flour. As we know APF is not a healthy choice as it's nutrient value is absolutely zero. For the recipe I have used Oats Flour which makes not makes these muffins a better health friendly choice then those made with APF.

Eggs are not at all an unhealthy choice but there are days when many people abstain from having eggs. Many people are allergic to eggs so they avoid these in their diet. And many are turning towards Veganism.

There are so many choices available these days for eggless options. Chia seeds, Yogurt, fruits puree and flaxseeds are few of the natural egg replacers if you do not want to use the egg replacers available in markets.

In the recipe I have used Flaxmeal as egg replacer, which not only is a good egg substitute but also adds on to the nutrition value of the the baked goodies.

Ingredients for Eggless Pumpkin Muffins with Oats Flour

Oats Flour- These healthy and delicious muffins are made with homemade oats flour. Even if you cannot source oats flour from your nearby store them make it at home. Use your chutney grinder/coffee grinder or high speed blender to make fine powder.

For the recipe I have used rolled oats to make the oats flour. You can prepare the flour using steel cut oats(grind oats a min. longer) or Instant oats too.

You can make these with Whole Wheat Flour(WWF) also but will have to adjust the amount of liquid used in the recipe. Oats flour is much lighter then the WWF and require less liquid.

Flax meal- Used a an egg substitute. You can also add chia get in place of flax meal. I didn't try the recipe with yogurt so won't recommend using it here and since it is a gluten-free flour and also lighter than whole wheat flour, so we also need an ingredient like eggs to give structure to muffins. Flax meal when mixed in water/meal forms a gel like mixture, which makes the muffins rise and give it a structure.

Pumpkin Puree- Use HOMEMADE or store bought.

Milk- I have used dairy milk to make flax egg. Non-dairy milk can also be used here or simply use water.

Pumpkin Spice- Add the fall flavours in the muffins with the Pumpkin Spice. Use store bought or homemade. Check the recipe card for Pumpkin (Pie) Spice which have cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ground ginger. All Spice is an important ingredient of Pumpkin Spice, but it is not available where I am right now so I skipped it. Use it if it is available.

Sugar- I have used raw cane sugar. You can use castor sugar but better avoid using it for health reasons. Since we are adding pumpkin puree which has some amount of natural sugar. So adjust sugar accordingly when using store bought puree.

Others- Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt and Oil.

You can also add chopped nuts like Walnuts, Pecans or seeds Pumpkin Seeds or even chocolate chips. I have added chopped Walnuts for the crunch.

Notes

If you do not have oats flour handy, grind 2 Rolled or Instant Oats. If using steel cut oats, grind 1 cup oats. I gives around 2 cups of flour. Use 1½ cup, keep the leftover for later use.

To make flax meal, grind 2 tbsp of flax seeds.

To grind oats and flaxseeds use your chutney grinder/coffee grinder or high speed blender.

For Vegan friendly or non-dairy version use plant based milk. 

You can substitute Whole Wheat flour with Oats Flour but adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe. You may need about 1/4 cup more milk. Add slowly and gradually.

Do not overmix mix or over beat the batter, lightly fold it. Overmixing will give dense muffins. 

You can also add chopped nuts like Walnuts, Pecans or seeds Pumpkin Seeds or even chocolate chips. I have added chopped Walnuts for the crunch.
