Diet baking is loved because you can not deny yourself the consumption of confectionery products, while maintaining your figure and following a diet. It is at the same time tasty, healthy, and low in calories. Just what lovers of sweets need for the tea ceremony. One such example of a dietary approach is pumpkin muffins with oatmeal, a recipe with photos of which I offer. Pumpkin and oatmeal are very healthy, and at the same time dietary, so they serve as the basis for many dishes, from pies to side dishes. I would like to note that in this recipe, in the summer, pumpkin can be replaced with equally healthy and low-calorie zucchini.
As far as pumpkin muffins go, this is a truly unique dish. The recipe itself is very simple and has a huge number of options, which occupy an important place due to their unique taste. The resulting muffins are fluffy, soft and slightly moist; the dough does not fall off after cooking, but retains its appetizing shape.

I added nuts to the pumpkin oatmeal muffins as an addition, but you can add raisins soaked in alcohol to give the muffins a nice tartness. Citrus fruits also have a good effect on the taste of baked goods. And to benefit the cupcakes, I used brown cane sugar, which you can replace with honey. In addition, honey will serve as an additional natural leavening agent.

You don't have to give up flour on your diet. There is always an alternative to fatty store-bought desserts - homemade PP-baking.

This article will tell you about the benefits of oatmeal. Hercules must be included in the diet of everyone who wants to stay strong and slim for many years. Of course, these components are useful only in the absence of contraindications. If you have an intolerance to carrots or other ingredients, it is better not to make these muffins, but to choose another dish.

How to make pumpkin muffins?

To make oatmeal and pumpkin muffins you will need:

• 400 g pumpkin pulp;
• 200 g peeled carrots;
• 1 glass of finely ground Hercules;
• 2 eggs;
• salt, ground ginger to taste.

The recipe does not include sugar. But if you have a sweet tooth, you can add a little natural substitute. For example, stevia.

Recipe step by step

1. Peel the pumpkin and remove seeds. Transfer the aromatic pulp into a blender bowl.
2. Wash, peel the carrots, cut into large pieces and also place in a blender. Grind the pumpkin and carrots together until smooth. It is allowed to use a fine grater.
3. Add eggs, oatmeal, salt and spices to the carrot-pumpkin mixture. Knead the dough thoroughly and leave aside for 20 minutes. It is better to first grind Hercules in a blender.
4. While the dough is soaking, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Prepare a convenient baking sheet and disposable paper cups for baking muffins and cupcakes.
5. Divide the finished dough into molds to fill 2/3 of the volume, compact easily, without pressing. Place the molds on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 40 minutes. Bake until fully cooked - until lightly browned. Cool, decorate and serve for tea.

You can decorate the muffins at your discretion. Ground cinnamon, pumpkin seeds and berries will not add extra calories. More high-calorie toppings - natural honey, jam, chocolate chips, powdered sugar. Condensed milk, butter and protein creams with traditional recipes have very high nutritional value and are least suitable for dietary baking.

Both children and adults will love this pastry. Even if your loved ones are not on a diet, they will certainly appreciate pumpkin muffins. Ideal with tea or coffee, warm milk or natural cocoa, compotes, fruit drinks. Muffins remain delicious even when they cool down - ideal for a snack to take with you.

**If you can’t find oatmeal in stores, you can make it yourself from oatmeal ( not instant!) using a coffee grinder or chopper. This is what she looks like:

*** To bake a pumpkin you need to follow a few simple steps. Wrap the unpeeled chopped pumpkin in foil and bake in the oven at 150-170 °C until soft. I usually simmer the pumpkin at low temperature for about an hour, along with beets in foil or apples. Both tasty and healthy.

****The quantity of fresh pumpkin should be slightly larger than the indicated weight of baked pumpkin in the recipe. The juicier and more watery the pumpkin, the more you need to take. Cool the baked pumpkin and peel it; this is much easier than peeling it while still fresh.

*****Instead of pumpkin, you can use applesauce prepared in the same way. Or a mixture of apples and pumpkin.
If you like to experiment, you can make these muffins with berry puree, first rubbing it through a sieve to remove the seeds.

******Hot water will be needed to soak the raisins. To make the taste of dried fruits richer, you can soak raisins in tea (black or green), orange juice or in water with the addition of a few tablespoons of any berry liqueur, rum or cognac. Don’t worry, when soaking the dried fruits and further baking, all the alcohol will disappear and only the aroma will remain.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Soak dried fruits in hot water, tea or juice and leave to cool.

Mix dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon (if adding). Sift.
I always sift the flour mixture, although it won’t give oatmeal muffins any special fluffiness. Sifting will help get rid of caked lumps of flour or baking powder and unpleasant surprises that are sometimes found in flour.
Place baked pumpkin pieces, vegetable oil, regular sugar and vanilla sugar into a blender bowl.

At this stage add crushed nuts.
If you like nuts to be subtle in your baked goods and only add a hint of flavor, then you need to first grind them in a blender and add them to the cake mixture.
If you prefer a richer taste of nuts, and so that they are felt on the tongue, then the nuts need to be chopped more coarsely. And not in a blender, but in a mortar or beat them with a rolling pin on a board, after covering it with transparent film. The nuts will not be offended, and in this case the pieces will turn out larger and will feel good in the muffins.
Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and mix well. You can mix in a blender and not be afraid that the muffins will become tough. Oatmeal, unlike wheat flour, does not form gluten and nothing will happen to it from intensive mixing (which is contraindicated for muffins made from white wheat flour).

Add the raisins and stir one last time.
*** If you add a little liquid from baking the pumpkin to the batter, the muffins will be more moist. If you drain this liquid (I drained it this time, look at the consistency of the dough), then the crumb of the cake will look like a very soft and airy cookie. Both options are delicious, choose at your discretion.
Divide the dough into the molds.

Bake until golden brown and smells amazing. Check for doneness with a wooden stick; if it is dry, then it’s time to remove the muffins from the oven.
My oven bakes muffins at 190°C for 30 minutes. Cool in the molds, remove only after complete cooling. The cupcakes turn out very crumbly, fragrant and soft; you need to take them out carefully so as not to damage the grooved pattern (if there is one).

Now you can brew tea and enjoy delicious and healthy pastries!
