Delicious and healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins made quickly in a blender using oats, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and warm pumpkin spices. These muffins are high in protein, low in carbs, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert with only 122 calories and 7 grams of protein per muffin.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (100 grams)
  • 1/2 packed cup vanilla flavored protein powder (~50-60 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (244 grams)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (227 grams – Siggis 0% recommended)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the muffins.
  2. Make Oat Flour: Add the rolled oats to a blender, Vitamix, or food processor and process for about 20 seconds until a fine oat flour forms.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt to the oat flour in the blender. Blend until all ingredients are well combined but avoid overprocessing to maintain good texture.
  4. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Remove the batter from the blender and gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
  5. Portion Batter: Distribute the batter evenly into 12 silicone or greased regular muffin liners placed in a muffin tin.
  6. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Baking for 25 minutes yields slightly moister muffins, while 30 minutes produces less moist but fully baked muffins. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool on a metal cooling rack before serving. Enjoy these protein-packed treats warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use silicone muffin liners for easy removal, or grease regular muffin tins thoroughly.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and preferred muffin moistness.
  • Protein powder used is vanilla flavored; choose one that you like and that blends well.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container for longer freshness.
