Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Fluffy, moist and the muffins that go FAST!

2 cups Old fashion oats (blended to make a flour consistency, see notes) To get this consistency: add oats to a blender or food powder processor & process until a flour forms, about 20-30 seconds.
2 cups Pumpkin puree
2 cups Plain greek yogurt I use Chobani low fat
4 large eggs
1 cup Packed vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup Granulated sugar (optional)
2 tbsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
2 tsp Baking powder
1 cup Dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add oats to a blender or food powder processor & process until a flour forms, about 20-30 seconds.
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl (except chocolate chips) with a whisk. Don’t over mix.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop batter into a lined muffin tin. I find an ice cream scoop works perfectly. I also use parchment paper squares to line my muffin tin.
Top each muffin with 3 chocolate chips.
Bake for 25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
ENJOY!
