Reluctant Housewife

Pumpkin Protein Muffins

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 cup applesauce

1 tbs vanilla extract

2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

1/4 cup alone milk

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan for 11 muffins. Yeah, I know. This recipe only yields 11 muffins when I make it. I'd add a touch more almond milk to make 12, or just be happy with an odd number. ;)

Add one very ripe banana, pumpkin puree and almond milk to a bowl and mash up until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend together with a wooden spoon.

Pour entire contents into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

Scoop batter into muffin slots. About 1/2 to 3/4 way full. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Check to make sure your muffins are cooked through with a toothpick. They're done when the toothpick comes out clean.

Healthy and delicious! Check out www.toneitup.com for the 31 Day Challenge where this recipe came from!
