These moist, fluffy muffins combine cozy fall flavor with a serious protein punch. They’re naturally sweetened, made with clean ingredients, and perfect for breakfast on the go, post-workout fuel, or a midday pick-me-up.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup pumpkin purée

2 eggs

¼ cup maple syrup or honey

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

¾ cup oat flour (or blended oats)

½ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Pinch of salt

Optional: ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease a muffin tin.

In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin, eggs, syrup, yogurt, and vanilla.

Stir in oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt until smooth.

Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.

Divide batter into muffin cups (fill about ¾ full).
