Prep
Cook
Yield 12 Muffins
With 11 grams of protein in each muffin, and no refined flour or sugar, this is a delicious snack for the whole family!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup creamy almond butter (or cashew)
- ¾ cup plain pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup protein powder (I used chocolate GOOD protein powder. You can use vanilla too.)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional, but really... are they optional??)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F. Get your muffin tin ready (oil, or parchment papers)
- Add all of the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the muffin batter into the greased muffin pan. Fill each one almost to the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the muffins have puffed up and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Allow the pumpkin protein muffins to cool for 10 minutes before carefully moving to a cooling rack.
