Happy Halloween! House decorated? Check! Kids chomping at the bit to get out for trick or treating? Probably! Want a breakfast to help celebrate Halloween, last week’s National Pumpkin Day and upcoming (US) Thanksgiving? Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Muffins to the rescue!
We have many reasons to love pumpkins between the last week of October and the end of November. For the next few weeks, we not only get to celebrate National Pumpkin Day (October 26), but also Halloween (October 31) and American Thanksgiving (3rd Thursday in November). How’s that for a pumpkin lovefest?
In honour of this trifecta of celebrations, Grayce and I have teamed with Staub Canada to shower some love on the pumpkin with a series of pumpkin-based recipes.
These Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Muffins are great to grab and go as you head out the door. Did I mention that they are celiac approved, gluten-free and suitable for those practising a gluten-reduced diet? Check! Check! Check!
Did you see last week’s Easy Trick and Treater Soup? Did you LOVE that gorgeous STAUB Pumpkin Cocotte? We are shelling out for Halloween! Check out my Instagram to find out how to win this large Staub Pumpkin Cocotte! There is still time to enter!

These look amazing! I think I’ll try them! As a Celiac, I’ll be using Pure Oats to make sure that the crop wasn’t cross-contaminates, but the results should be exactly the same…you know, provided that I don’t screw it up hahaha!
Thanks for the cross contamination reminder for Celiacs! These muffins are super simple to make, I can bet you won’t screw them up! 🎃
