Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin or a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or fill with muffin liners and set aside.
In a blender add oats or oat bran, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Blend until the oats are finely ground and the other ingredients are mixed in well.
Next, add in eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Blend until it forms a smooth mixture.
Mix in chocolate chips or place a Hershey kiss into the bottom of each muffin cup first then add muffin mix on top so there is a surprise inside each bite. Pour the muffin mixture into each cup about halfway.
Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
How to store - since these muffins are extra moist they will last much longer in the fridge. Keep them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. If you keep them on the counter in an airtight container then you might only be able to keep them for 3 to 5 days because they are so moist they will grow mold quicker.When freezing - place these muffins in a freezer bag. Make sure they are in a single layer. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, take them out and let them thaw. Then microwave to warm them up and serve them with some drizzly peanut butter or some delicious room temperature butter.How can the kids help?
Put all muffin liners into the muffin tins!
Help measure out all ingredients and pour them into the blender.
Teach them how to press the buttons on the blender. My kids love when the blender is making a loud noise. They run around and scream while it's going off, haha!
Have your child press the butterscotch morsels on top of the muffins right before you bake them!
