Healthy Mini Oatmeal Pumpkin Muffins

Pumpkin season is the best season. Because I can make pumpkin biscuits like these and mini oatmeal pumpkin muffins like these.

What a perfect little healthy bite-sized muffin for tots and kids.

Instead of butter or oil, I opted to use unsweetened applesauce.

Whole wheat flour. And old fashioned rolled oats.

Almond milk with brown sugar. Pumpkin. And I also added some unsweetened coconut flakes for added taste and texture.

Overall, it came out quite moist and tasty! Just a tad sweet, which is perfect for me. These are a great grab n’ go snack and a nice little lunchbox treat for my little one. Let me know how yours turn out! Tag me @bebeandbear on Insta with your pics!
