Easy Muffin Recipe for One
Hello! I just made the easiest oatmeal pumpkin muffins of my life. You probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now. Try it and let me know.
Before we talk about those muffins, let’s talk about running.
The Revel Race series gives you your race photos for FREE!!! This is awesome! Race photos are so expensive – this is a great perk!
Most of the photos from this weekend’s Revel Canyon City Half Marathon make me look like an old sweaty chonie head, but here’s one of the good ones near the finish line…
This morning I did 6 miles and some post-run exercises for my lil POTM for the day. What are you doing?
And now it’s time for this super delicious pumpkin spice muffin recipe. I have been craving a pumpkin muffin but didn’t want to bake (and eat) a whole batch. I made this recipe for one muffin using ingredients I had on hand. The best part is – it came out so good! I made the recipe again to make sure it worked for one or two muffins and could be doubled too. Yep.
So make one muffin for a snack or double it and make one for yourself and one for your cat.
Then, when he turns up his nose at it you can have two muffins. Boom.
Super Easy Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffin – for One
(Easy – Low-fat – Recipe for 1 – Gluten free)
Ingredients for one Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffin:
- 1 packet maple brown sugar oatmeal (use gf oats if needed)

I did 3 miles, then we hopped in the car for a 3 day road trip in route to my sister’s house and our half marathon on Saturday. About an hour into our drive, i realized i forgot to pack my running skirt for Saturday. I was/am majorly disappointed. Then when we got to our hotel, I realized, i also forgot my swimsuit. Sigh.
3 miles during lunch break 🙂
Ran six miles at the gym, hurried home for dinner, homework, etc with my kids, showered, and am now stretching in bed while I catch up on my fave blogs:)

I was in a time crunch.. with a 30 min window I was able to get in my scheduled 3 miles.
Those muffins look delish! I took a rest day today but back at it tomorrow!

resy day today but took my dog for a long walk even though it was freezing out!
I got my 22,000 steps in today! I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and walked 2.4 miles on the treadmill. The rest of my steps are from walking to and from school and teaching and walking at lunch. I will be sad when the cold weather hits and I can’t walk to school anymore. Chicago winters are cold and snowy!
I did 5.5 on the treadmill today.
I knew I wouldn’t have time after work to do anything, so I got up a little earlier and ran 4 miles before work. It went well…but it was VERY DARK!!

5 miles walk with my husband.

3 Miles done! This warm November is sooo nice!
Rest day!
Do you think those muffins would work coking them in the microwave like a mugcake? They look delicious
Today is a rest day for me, getting over a stomach bug
I think it would work to cook it through (so the egg isn’t raw) but won’t be as fluffy. The slower baking from the oven made it the consistency of a muffin. I feel like mug-cakes have a little bit a different consistency.
Today I ran 6.6 miles! It felt great and I was happy to get it in before work!
Planning on a 2 mile walk today.
This morning I did 4.3 km! So far this month I’ve gotten in 40.3km out of my 75km goal. Woohoo!

40 minutes of cross training and some core work!
Today was supposed be a 7 mile run, but I overslept a little bit and had to cut it down to 5. I’ll make up for it tomorrow!

I did 3 miles of run/walking because I’m getting over a nasty cold. It felt pretty good to get outside!
Another 4 miles although I really wanted to go back to bed.
This morning was a ladder workout at the track! I didn’t want to get out of bed, but I pushed through and I’m so glad I did. The sunrise was amazing and I felt so much better starting my day with a workout 🙂

Spin tonight — the average 45 minutes spin class covers 15-20 miles, so I’m told… I’m lowballing it and will consider it 15 miles down.

Hit the gym this morning for some AirDyne intervals, wall ball shots, sled pushes, and some plyo work. WooHoo! Nice and sweaty first thing in the morning.

38 min run with 21 min of tempo/speed in intervals in there. play time! 🙂 nice n mild here, so lovely to be outside, went on ez trails through waterloo park. core work now!
Got my walk in early today, plus some yoga after. My back feels *amazing* after two yoga sessions this week.
My hip said no thank you to. Run yesterday, but I didn’t listen. So it’s punishing me today. Gonna be a rest day.
Ouch. Hope you feel better asap. Rest and stretch. <3
Either a run or gym after work. I haven’t decided yet. Waiting to see if the rain goes away!
I just got back from a 8.1 mile run this chilly morning (if 50 degrees is chilly). Now on to some much needed stretching.
Nine miles and some sweet yoga for runners to follow.
