Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a blender, add the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to three days.
