Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1¼ cup protein oats (blended into a flour-like consistency)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tbsp. coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • ½ cup dark chocolate morsels (and some extra for the top)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  2. Line your muffin pan with liners.
  3. Add the oats to the blender or food processor and blend until it turns into a flour-like consistency. It doesn't have to be perfect.
  4. Add in the eggs, cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and sugar.Blend until smooth.
  5. Use a spatula or spoon to scrape down the sides and get it away from the edges in the bottom. You want to avoid the dry pockets in the mix. Blend again if needed.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chip morsels by hand.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Top each muffin with 3 chocolate morsels.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator....if they last that long.
