Servings 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup creamy almond butter
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup protein powder see note
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- ½ cup mini dark chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- Add all of the ingredients (except for the mini chocolate chips) to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the mini 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.
- Lastly, remove the pan from the oven. Allow the pumpkin protein muffins to cool for 10 minutes before carefully moving to a cooling rack.
Notes
- We recommend choosing a neutral or vanilla flavored protein powder.
- We love Prime Protein.
- Use all natural creamy almond butter made from only almonds and salt. Peanut butter works well too, but the peanut butter flavor is more detectable than almond butter.
- Fill each muffin cavity almost to the top.
- These muffins bake pretty quickly. Do not overbake them.
- Store these muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
