There is no actual pie in these muffins. There isn't any oatmeal either. There is pumpkin, and there are raisins.... and effectively no starch.
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/2 cup ground flax seed/meal
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon *each* allspice, nutmeg, ground cloves
4 cups almond flour
1 15ounce can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups raisins
1 teaspoon baking soda
Method
Add eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer (a hand mixer also works, but it may take longer). Using a whisk attachment, beat at high speed for at least 5 minutes, or until the eggs are lighter, foamy, and have doubled in size. Add flax meal, beat another 2 minutes or so. Add sugar, beat another 2-5 minutes. **
Add pumpkin, beat a minute or so, then add almond flour.
As soon as the almond flour is completely incorporated, add the butter, and vanilla. Then add the raisins. After the raisins are completely incorporated, add the baking soda and salt. Beat just long enough to incorporate the last two ingredients.
Bake at 325° for 25 minutes or until done.
**It may seem like nothing is happening, but all this whisking time is adding air to the batter, helping to ensure that the muffins are nice and light.
