Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Canned pumpkin
• ½ cup Applesauce
• ½ cup Plain low fat Greek yogurt
• 3 Egg whites
• 1 ¾ cup Old Fashioned Oats
• ¼ cup Protein powder
• ½ cup Baking Stevia OR 1 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar (Splenda)
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• ¼ tsp Salt
• 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
• ½ tsp Pumpkin pie OR Apple pie spice
• Optional Add-Ins: ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds, mini chocolate chips, raisins or dried cranberries!

Bake them for 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes

**I don’t use cupcake liners – I just spray the pan & put the batter in. I put walnuts on the bottom (to make a mini crust of finely diced nuts on the bottom) and I sprinkle 5-6 sugar free chocolate chips & pieces of pecans or unsweetened shredded coconut on top :) YUM!
