Ingredients

• 200 grams Pumpkin puree
• 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
• 120 grams Rolled oats
• 50 grams Coconut sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 50 grams Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If you’re using optional add-ins like chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or raisins, fold them into the batter now.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
