Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin or silicone muffin pan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • muffin liners optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1¼ cup oat flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup maple syrup optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine dry ingredients including the spices.
  • Add in the wet ingredients and mix until batter is smooth. Then fold in chocolate chips.
  • Lightly grease your muffin tin or silicone muffin pan. You can also use muffin liners. If using a silicone baking pan, be sure to place it on top of a firm baking surface like a cooking sheet for easy transfer. Fill each muffin to the top with batter. Top with more chocolate chips if desired. Bake at 350℉ for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Recipe will make about 12 muffins depending on how full you fill each muffin cup.
