When it comes to blenders, Vitamix is top of the line in my book. People swear by them and I admired them from afar for the longest time. I think it comes as no surprise that the top barrier to entry for a Vitamix is the price. I always had it in my mind that it would be a wedding registry item and it miiiight have been the gift I was most excited about two years ago. It’s obviously an investment but I also know I’ll have it for.ev.er. Do you have a high powered blender? Are you as obsessed as I am?

Anyway! Ever since I got my blender I’ve been trying all sorts of new recipes. To justify the price point, I always want to make sure I am using it regularly and it’s not just taking up space in our pantry. So that’s where these blender muffins come in! You make them entirely in your blender… no other dishes are required!

Pumpkin Spice Blender Muffin Ingredients

  • Rolled oats
  • Almond meal
  • Mashed pumpkin 
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • Eggs 
  • Coconut sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pumpkin spice
  • Salt
  • Nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

How to Make Blender Muffins

This might be the easiest recipe on the blog. Everything mixes up in the blender, the easy pour container makes filling the muffin tin so easy and the recipe is hands down delicious!

STEP 1: Add oats to a high speed blender and pulse until it’s ground into a flour.  Add in the almond meal, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, coconut sugar and salt and pulse a few times until combined. Add in the pumpkin, almond milk, vanilla extract and two eggs and blend until just combined.  Stir in the nuts or chocolate chips if using. 

STEP 2: Pour the batter into a muffin tin that has been greased or lined. The cups should be almost completely full and should fill all 12!

STEP 3: Bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes or until muffin tops spring back when you press on them and a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

STEP 4: Let cool for 20 minutes in the muffin tin before removing to cool completely. Enjoy!

How to Store Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Let your muffins cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. If they are even slightly warm, condensation will form in the container which results in soggy muffins. These will keep in an airtight container on the counter for 3 days, in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for several months.

    I just wanted to comment, that I have noticed that American recipes include rolled oats in Gluten free recipes, without noting that not all oats are gluten free. And that some people can have a separate allergy to oats. Australian rolled oats are milled in the same mills that process wheat, so are not suitable for people with coeliac’s disease. Newly diagnosed people may not realise this and so may still suffer symptoms without realising. Gluten Free oats in Australia may be purchased in Health Food shops or at some supermarkets, but have only become available fairly recently. Quoina flakes are a good substitute.
