Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt unsweetened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour or finely blended rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder I use BetterDays—it blends perfectly!
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon + nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips Lily’s is my go-to

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners (or spray lightly with nonstick spray).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, almond butter, Greek yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  • Fold in chocolate chips if you’re adding them.
  • Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups (about 3/4 full).
  • Bake 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan (if you can wait that long).
