Healthy Pumpkin Bread Muffins, With a CBD Twist
In a realm dominated by pumpkin spice desserts, we present a nourishing and robust alternative—pumpkin muffins. Ideal for kickstarting your day or indulging in a wholesome treat to enhance your routine!
Ingredients
- â…“ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup honey
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- ¼ cup milk of choice, we recommend Oat Milk!
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice or cloves)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
- â…“ cup old-fashioned oats, plus more for sprinkling on top
- 1 teaspoon of CBG Isolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. The tins will need to be greased if not using a non-stick muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, mix the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs, and mix well. Add the pumpkin purée, milk, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and CBG isolate.
- Add the flour and oats to the bowl and mix with a large spoon, just until combined but still a bit lumpy.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with about a tablespoon of oats, followed by a light sprinkle of raw sugar if you’d like.
- Bake muffins for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
6. Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. These muffins taste even better after they have rested for a couple of hours. They’ll keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days!
Extract Labs Tip:
For an added sweet crunch, consider sprinkling 2 teaspoons of raw sugar over your pumpkin muffins.
