Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • ½ cup protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats and protein powder thoroughly to create a uniform base for the batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin purée, eggs, and honey to the dry mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  4. Prepare Muffin Cups: Pour the muffin batter evenly into muffin cups or a lined muffin tin, filling each about three-quarters full for proper rising.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin — it should come out clean or with few crumbs.
  6. Cool & Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can make the muffins denser.
  • Choose a protein powder flavor that complements pumpkin, such as vanilla or cinnamon.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
  • Ensure pumpkin purée is pure and unsweetened for accurate flavor and nutrition.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
