Pumpkin Spice Protein Muffins

We love pumpkin.
We love protein.
We love muffins.

Hooray! We definitely hit the trifecta with today’s recipe - these delightful pumpkin spice protein muffins are 100% naturally-sweetened and taste just like a pumpkin spice latte, but they’re much healthier for you!

Made with oat flour and almond flour, these muffins are suitable for those following a gluten-free diet. As for the protein, we used Greek yogurt, our French Toasted pasture-fed whey protein isolate protein powder, and egg whites to create the fluffiest, best-tasting muffins. 

In our opinion, this easy and filling breakfast is the perfect way to start a fall morning. These muffins also make a great pre or post-workout snack. Enjoy!
