Mixing the Batter

I am starting with the wet ingredients using:

ONE LIST

Five simple dinners. One grocery list.

No recipe hunting, no messy shopping notes, no complicated chef projects. Just family dinners that fit real weeks.

• pureed pumpkin
• Greek yogurt for extra protein and moisture
• maple syrup for sweetness
• eggs and vanilla

Mix that all together until nice and smooth.

For the dry ingredients, I used:

• almond flour
• coconut flour
• vanilla protein powder
• pumpkin pie spice
• baking soda and baking powder
• and a little bit of salt

Give that all a good mix, so it combines everything evenly. Gently fold it together until you have a thick pumpkin batter.

Baking and Storing

Then divide the batter between 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full. Bake them at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. Store them in the fridge for up to five days or freeze some for later.

And look at these soft pumpkin spice protein-packed muffins that are perfect for an easy fall breakfast or snack. And of course, I had to taste test one. So good.
