Pumpkin Protein Bars/Muffins

I first tried this recipe last week. I made it into the protein bars you see on the right. I had changed the recipe I had found to add more protein, I tried to compensate by adding more liquids but I just did a little too much. They tasted awesome. But seemed almost doughy. Here is the new recipe that became very successful muffins today!

Pumpkin Protein Muffin Recipe:

1 C oats (grind up in blender)
1 1/4 C 100% Pumpkin Puree (NOT PIE FILLING)
3/4 C Plain low fat Greek Yogurt
4 Egg whites
4 scoops Protein ( I used 1 Vanilla and 3 unflavored)
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 Tblspoons Stevia
1/4 Syrup Sugar free syrup
1/2 C Chocolate chips (save 1/4 of a cup for on top!)

This is before they were baked! See how full they are!

Mix everything together (except Chocolate chips for on top), I used my new kitchenAid to mix it. Put in muffin tins, Fill them full this is not a dough that really rises. (see pics) I made 11 Muffins. Bake at 350F for about 35 min.

If you want to cut most of the sugar and extra calories you could make this without chocolate chips or just fewer chips.
