Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Protein Muffins September 22, 2015
It’s time for pumpkin everythingggggg! So, per usual, I had to make some healthy breakfast muffins. These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Protein Muffins taste like fall but have lots of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, protein, fiber, and Omegas, and for my preggos- extra Folate.
Ingredients:
- 2 TBSP Carrot Puree
- 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 2 TBSP Applesauce
- 2 Egg Whites
- 1 TBSP Honey
- 2 Scoops Try About Time Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder (Use Code HAPPILYHUGHES)
- 1/2 TBSP Baking Soda
- 4 TBSP Brown Sugar
- 1 1/4 Cup Oat Flour
- 1 TSP Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- Salt to taste
- Coconut oil to grease pan
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin pan with coconut oil.
- Place all wet ingredients in a mixer and whip together.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and brown sugar together.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring slowly. Stop mixing as soon as ingredients are well-combined. If you over mix, the muffins won’t rise as well.
- Then, add the dark chocolate chips and whip until evenly distributed. Use a 1/2 cup to scoop out the muffin mix and place in each muffin tin.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- *I used extra chocolate chips to decorate the top of the muffins*
NEED this in my life! Looks delish!
These sound delicious! Can they be made without the protein powder?
I love the idea of using extra chips to decorate the top of the muffins. What an easy, but perfect way, to elevate them to the next level.
These look amazing and sound so healthy! Want!
Yummy!! Love how simple these are.
Those look awesome! I'm pretty sure I have everything to make these too. Yay, no shopping!!
I love the addition of the protein powder! What a great idea. I also like gluten free 🙂
My face hole yearns for these! LOL! I haven't baked in awhile, I am craving it! I think THURSDAY is my baking day… Just decided! 😉
Wait. Are these gluten free? Yes!
Anything with chocolate is a-ok in my book!!!
These look delicious! I'm going to have to try these in the morning for breakfast!
