I found myself craving something sweet the other day but I needed to stay low carb. I happened to have a few cans of pumpkin left over from Christmas and decided I would experiment with making some pumpkin muffins. They came out absolutely amazing! They were very moist and tasted wonderful. They are actually fairly addicting and many people have been using my recipe for these tasty treats.
The recipe makes 12 servings and following are the nutrition facts per muffin:
82 kcals
.79 grams fat
2 grams Net Carbs (subtracted the fiber)
15.55 grams protein
Here is the recipe:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup soy or almond flour
4 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp cinnamon
*Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl
*Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes (it will be very moist in the middle)
*If you try to check it with a toothpick it will still be moist in the middle but don't worry it's cooked
Remember that each muffin has just over 15 grams of protein and this will add up quickly if you gobble down a few of them at a time. Stay within your caloric and macro-nutrient ratios and you'll be fine.
God Bless,
Rick Haven
