Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love pumpkin. I love it so much so that I could honestly eat pumpkin baked goods all year long! My two favorites are pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins … no contest. 

These almond flour pumpkin muffins are are incredibly moist and flavorful. I love that they’re packed with chocolate chips too, yet are surprisingly low sugar. These muffins are great for breakfast, as a snack, even for dessert. Sometimes I’ll be a little extra and even drizzle almond butter on top. Recipe details and nutrition facts are below. I hope you enjoy!

I'm obsessed with how soft & delicate these cookies are, thx to a blend of almond and coconut flours. There's just enough lemon to make them slightly tart but still sweet ☺️
⁣
Catch them this Saturday at my pop up at @fernbotanica 12-5PM 🌿 These babies always sell out so get there early or pre-order a box! 💛😘
How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip coo How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip cookie? Asking for a friend ... 😆

I wasn’t planning on recipe testing these babies until later today but I woke up craving joy and baking brings me just that ❤️ Make sure you carve out time today just for YOU ... without a real agenda or plan or purpose. Just because it makes you smile 😊

Also, will report back on cookies. I really want to stuff them with ice cream and freeze them so they “set” like a proper ice cream sandwich!!🍦🍪
I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up: comparison, restless brain, and success. Here's what I have for you ...⁣
⁣
1. Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop comparing!! You are unique, wonderful, capable, and SO amazing in your own right.⁣ ❤️
⁣
2. Don't believe everything you "think". Thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts are not facts. ⁣🤔
⁣
3. You are confined only by the walls you build yourself. If you want to see change, grab your hammer & tear down those walls! YOU are in charge of your trajectory .. no one else.⁣ 🔨
⁣
Also, unrelated, but here's your Monday reminder to check in on your peeps. Most everyone I've talked to in the past few weeks is going through some real tough stuff. Be that person that brings them a little levity and some love. And if you (safely) can, hug 'em tight! I love hugs lol.⁣ 🤗
⁣
Which resonates w you most - 1, 2 or 3?  Hope you all have a great week!!! 💖

Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're re Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're reading!!) commented on how much she ❤️ my mini 🍌 bread and I realized I never shared the recipe!! 

These cutie loaves are SO simple, fluffy, made with the best mix of flours (hi almond, hi oat), lightly sweetened, and packed with vegan chocolate chips! 😋

Here's what you need:
• 1 cup mashed banana ~ 2 large or 3 small 🍌 (overripe!) 
• 2 eggs 🥚
• 1/4 cup coconut oil 🥥 - melted & cooled 
• 1/3 cup maple syrup 🍁
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1 cup GF oat flour 
• 1 cup almond flour 
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup @enjoylifefoods choc chips 🍫

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your mini loaf tin (should make 7 loaves). Mash bananas in a bowl and mix in the wet ingredients - eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients - flours, BP, cinnamon, salt - and stir to combine. Fold in choc chips. Equally distribute among greased tins. Bake for 25 mins (or until toothpick comes out clean). Let cool and enjoy! 💛
