If you’re a fan of pumpkin or a fan of bran muffins you’ll love these pumpkin bran muffins.  They are made with whole wheat flour and are low calorie (with only 109 calories per muffin).  Make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for a quick breakfast on a busy morning.
Whole wheat pumpkin bran muffins--only 109 calories per muffin and totally tasty!

Sometimes late at night as I’m falling asleep I’ll have an idea for a recipe.  I make sure to write these ideas down quickly because you know if I don’t the next morning I won’t remember a thing!  This was one of those ideas…pumpkin x bran muffins = healthy and delicious fall breakfast.

This recipe for pumpkin bran muffins is super yummy and healthy too. One muffin only has 109 calories. A fast breakfast!

These are definitely more of a bran muffin than a pumpkin muffin.  Basically they are a bran muffin with pumpkin puree in the place of oil and some extra pumpkin pie spices.  Because there is no oil or additions like raisins or chocolate chips the calories are fairly low.

Just FYI If you’re looking for a plain pumpkin muffin one thing that I like to do that is super easy is mix a small can of pumpkin with a spice cake mix (unprepared) and bake for about 15 minutes in muffin tins.

Hi! I'm Karen

I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
Karen
