I love Muffins! I wanted to make pumpkin muffins that were low carb without a lot of sugar and didn't have any oil or butter used in the recipe. My husband and I are enjoying these small pumpkin muffins in the afternoon with our espresso coffee.
I searched and found this low carb/high protein pumpkin muffin recipe on Pinterest.
The pumpkins are so easy to make and still taste great without any sugar added to the recipe.
The best part about these muffins is that each pumpkin muffin has 11 grams of protein with just 5 grams of carbs. They are 135 calories for one muffin and just 2 Smart Points.
I hope you enjoy these low-carb pumpkin muffins.
LOW CARB/HIGH PROTEIN PUMPKIN MUFFINS
The original recipe can be found at Mason Fit
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 scoops PEScience protein powder, vanilla
- 1/2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat an oven to 350F and spray 8 slots in a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or place 8 silicone muffin molds on a baking sheet.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Gradually stir in the eggs, canned pumpkin, and vanilla extract. Stir until you have an evenly mixed batter.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin or molds, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 23-26 minutes or until the muffins are cooked through and the tops are golden brown.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool and enjoy!
NOTES:
Each muffin has 2 Smart Points
You can find silicone baking cups on Amazon.
WHAT I CHANGED:
The first time I made the muffins, I sprayed the muffin tin with cooking spray, and the muffins stuck to the tin. The next time I made the muffins I used cupcake liners that worked out great. I baked the muffins the second time for 24 minutes. I also didn't have any pumpkin pie spice and I used cinnamon instead. I used 2 scoops of Orgain Organic Protein Powder, Vanilla Bean flavor. I was able to make 12 muffins.
