Oatmeal Pepita Muffins

Mornings can be pretty busy at our house, especially during the holidays.  Because I’m usually cooking, shopping or running errands, I like to keep things simple and whip up a few easy recipes that I can serve as ready-to-eat breakfasts throughout the week.

My oatmeal pepita muffins are the perfect portable snack and great for breakfast on-the-go.  They’re also a great healthy option, packed with delicious oats and nutritious milk, which is rich in calcium, potassium and vitamin D.  I like to enjoy my muffins with a glass of milk on the side for extra protein and a more balanced breakfast.

Oatmeal pepita muffins are wholesome enough to eat everyday and can even be substituted as a healthy dessert.  You’ll never have to feel guilty about eating them.

Oatmeal Pepita Muffins with Siempre Leche

These oatmeal pepita muffins are rich and flavorful with the help of creamy milk, sweet brown sugar and a splash of vanilla.  Tender oats and toasted pepitas add texture and crunch to these delicious muffins.  They’re perfect when eaten warm fresh out of the oven and just as delicious when cooled and stored in an airtight container.

Here in Texas it’s hot, and I usually save most of the heavy cooking for evenings, when the sun is low.  I like to bake up a big batch over the weekend and store them for breakfast and snacking throughout the week.

So take a break from the holiday hustle and whip up a Texas-sized batch of these gorgeous oatmeal pepita muffins for your family and holiday guests to enjoy.

Ingredients

For Muffins: 

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup oats

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup milk

1/4 cup canola oil

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

Non-stick spray

1/3 cup oats

1/3 cup pepitas

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Liberally spray a muffin tray with non-stick spray.

To make streusel topping: In a bowl, combine oats, pepitas, flour and sugar; mix well. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly; set aside.

To make muffins: In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar and baking powder; mix well. In a small bowl, combine milk, oil, egg and vanilla; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill muffin cups almost full. Sprinkle with reserved streusel, patting gently. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm.
