Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 can pumpkin puree 15oz
- ¼ cup milk I used Fairlife Skim
- ⅓ cup plain greek yogurt I used Two Good
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder I used Clean Simple Eats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, greek yogurt, and canned pumpkin. Whisk until smooth.
- Whisk in milk and vanilla extract.
- Add all of the dry ingredients into the bowl except the chocolate chips. Stir until combined (be sure to whisk all of the flour clumps out of the batter).
- Fold in the olive oil and mini chocolate chips mix until smooth.
- Place muffin cups into your muffin pan and spray heavily with cooking spray (protein powder is sticky when it bakes. This is a MUST!). Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scooper and put 2 scoops of muffin batter into each muffin liner.
- Top each muffin with more chocolate chips before baking.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The tops will brown a bit, this is also due to baking protein powder. Enjoy!
Notes
- Let them cool, then place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze for up to three months.
