Baking Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with paper liners or silicone molds.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the oats and blend until they resemble a fine flour. Transfer this oat flour into a mixing bowl.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, protein powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until the mixture is well combined but do not over-mix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and maple syrup, if using, to finish your batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling slightly before removing from the tray.
Notes
These muffins are excellent served warm for breakfast or as a snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer freshness.
