This recipe was inspired by another recipe that a friend shared with me recently. Â I will be sharing that recipe soon too! Â But I love that this pumpkin muffin recipe has more than just whole wheat flour in them. Â It is always good to try to use a variety of grains in your baking, and these turned out really yummy! Â As a plus, there is no oil or butter in this recipe! Â I am also going to work on a 2-stage process recipe for these muffins. Â I am thinking that you could replace the milk with buttermilk or yogurt and soak the flour, oat bran, and flax in the buttermilk overnight, then add in the rest of the ingredients. Â I’ll post that variation when I have it perfected!
