Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups Old fashion oats (blended to make a flour consistency, see notes)
• 2 cans Pumpkin puree (15 oz)
• 2 cups Plain greek yogurt ( I use Chobani low fat)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup Packed vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (optional)
• 2 tbsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Nutmeg
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 cup Dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add oats to a blender or food powder processor & process until a flour forms, about 20-30 seconds.
3. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl (except chocolate chips) with a whisk. Don’t over mix.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Scoop batter into a lined muffin tin. I find an ice cream scoop works perfectly. I also use parchment paper squares to line my muffin tin.
6. Top each muffin with 3 chocolate chips.
7. Bake for 25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. ENJOY!
