Equipment

Muffin pan

Ingredients

1 ¼ cup oat flour do NOT pack… scoop into measuring cup and level
1 cup pumpkin puree
¾ cup greek yogurt
2 large eggs
½ cup packed vanilla flavored protein powder (~50 grams)
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the oat flour, pumpkin, greek yogurt, eggs, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda to a large mixing bowl and stir with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, saving some to sprinkle on top.
Distribute into 12 greased muffin liners.

Notes

You can use a 1:1 ratio for cottage cheese in place of greek yogurt. I recommend using 4% cottage cheese and blending it until smooth. Use 3/4 cup blended in place of 3/4 cup greek yogurt.
