Instructions for Healthy Peanut Butter Stuffed Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, almond milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.

Step 3: Add the Peanut Butter Filling

Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each muffin cup (about one-third full). Then, add a teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of each muffin. Cover with more muffin batter until the cups are about three-quarters full.

Step 4: Top with Peanut Butter

After filling each muffin cup, add a small dollop of peanut butter on top of the batter for an extra creamy finish.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Enjoy!

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days. They also freeze well, making them a perfect make-ahead snack!

Tips for Perfect Muffins

• Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
• Customize: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like nuts, seeds, or sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture.
• Storage: Keep muffins in the fridge for a longer shelf life, or freeze them for an easy grab-and-go snack.
