204 Basic Pumpkin Spice Protein Muffin
I promised myself and my clients that I would create a delicious pumpkin spice muffin this week. Mission accomplished! I coached the 6 am class this morning, and whenever I’m up that early, I crush recipes because of the energy and time I have. This morning I did not disappoint and the 204 Basic Pumpkin Spice muffin was born.
There is never a guarantee that the recipes you make will turn out. When you start using whey protein, different flours and omitting sugars, you can create some pretty dry, rubbery and generally gross food.
Fortunately we dodged that bullet. These muffins deliver on protein and taste. They’re moist too, so no need to slather them with butter, jam or any other condiment to choke them down.
The prep is easy, and you can easily whip them up in the morning while you get ready for work if you have 30 minutes. Mix up the batter, toss them in the oven, and go shower! They’ll fill the house with an amazing spicy pumpkin scent and bake to perfection in 20 minutes.
These muffins are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a post workout meal.
Make any adjustments you need to, if they don’t quite fit your macros. You can also make smaller muffins, instead of the 6 large ones I made.
