Pumpkin Blueberry Oat Muffins with Millet Crunch

These Pumpkin Blueberry Oat Muffins are a perfect blend of cozy fall flavors and wholesome ingredients, with a delightful crunch. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants from wild blueberries, these muffins make a nourishing breakfast or snack. The pumpkin puree keeps them moist, while cinnamon and nutmeg add those warm, comforting notes.

Looking for a touch of sweetness? If your diet/protocol allows for natural sweeteners, you can enhance these muffins by adding 2-3 tbsp of maple syrup or honey. Either will complement the pumpkin and blueberry flavors beautifully without overpowering the natural goodness of the ingredients.
