Ingredients
 
 

Wet ingredients

  • 140 g pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 70 g maple syrup
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry ingredients

  • 110 g jumbo oats
  • 70 g ground almonds
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Filling

  • 50 g cream cheese
  • 5 ml maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cornflour, US cornstarch

Spice mix

  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ginger powder
  • ¼ nutmeg
  • clove powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a 6-hole muffin tin with cases.
  • Add all the wet ingredients to your food processor: pumpkin purée, eggs, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients: Tip in the oat flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Pulse just a few times until combined – don’t overmix, this keeps the muffins fluffy.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, maple syrup, and cornflour until smooth.
  • Fill each muffin case with the batter, then pipe or spoon the cream cheese mixture on top — I used a frosting bag for easier filling, but a spoon works just as well. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds before baking.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the cream cheese centre) comes out clean.
  • Once baked, let the muffins cool down completely on a baking rack before serving — this helps the texture set and keeps the filling creamy.

Notes

  • Made with wholesome oats and maple syrup, these muffins are rich in fibre and slow-release carbs, keeping you fuller for longer without the sugar crash.
  • Let them cool completely before serving — this helps the cream cheese filling set perfectly.
  • Meal prep tip: Bake a double batch and freeze half for quick breakfasts or snacks.
