A Guide to Healthy Peanut Butter Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with a paper liner or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the muffin batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, almond milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, add chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.

Step 3: Add Peanut Butter Filling

Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each muffin cup (about one-third full). Then, add a teaspoon of peanut butter to the center of each muffin. Cover with more muffin batter until the cup is about three-quarters full.

Step 4: Top with Peanut Butter

After filling each muffin cup, add a dollop of peanut butter to the top of the batter for extra creaminess.

Step 5: Grill

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Enjoy!

These muffins are best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days. They also freeze well, making the perfect snack!

Tips for Perfect Muffins

• Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
• Adjust: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like nuts, seeds, or sugar-free chocolate chips to add texture.
• Storage: Store muffins in the refrigerator for longer shelf life, or freeze them for an easy grab-and-go snack.
