Pumpkin oatmeal muffins truly make the fall season come to life! It’s like fall begins when I can smell these delightful muffins baking in the oven. Don’t be fooled, these are just as delicious as any pumpkin muffins recipe.
Oat flour is an AMAZING flour to bake with. I know oats can be super dense, but don’t be intimidated. Oat flour is our main flour that we bake with and it’s perfect for these pumpkin oatmeal muffins. It’s such a staple because a few of us have gluten sensitivities. Oats do not contain gluten! Many people think they do because you can buy certified gluten-free oats.
Why We Buy Organic Oats, Not Gluten-Free Oats
Oats are often grown near wheat patches. When the wind stirs up, there can be cross contamination of wheat particles found on oats (or groats). There is where the cross contamination comes from. Oats do not have gluten in them, only wheat berries do. For this reason, if you have celiacs disease, you should make sure to buy certified gluten-free oats, which have been grown far away from wheat patches.
Because we simply have gluten sensitivities, but not celiacs, we are able to tolerate regular oats. I do believe in the importance of organic oats. Organic oats are not sprayed with pesticides containing glyphosates. These glyphosates, over time, cause trauma to the gut. Since we eat our weight in oats each month, 25 pounds to be exact, we stay away from glyphosates as much as possible.
