Jamie Eason's pumpkin protein muffins

I adapted this recipe from bodybuilding.com.  They make great snacks

Ingredients:
1/4 cup stevia
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin (1 15 oz can or 1/2 of a 30 oz can)2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger 
1/2 tsp Ground Allspice
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or nonfat cow's milk
4 large egg whites

Combine all these together and blend well with a hand mixer or a whisk.  Make sure all the protein powder is dissolved.

Add the leavening.  Also, at this point, preheat the oven to 350 deg F. and spray a muffin tin (12) or 9x13 " dish with olive oil

1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Then add the flour.  Make sure you sift the oat flour, either through a mesh sieve with a spoon or with a fancy-shmancy flour sifter if you have one.  The flour will clump badly if you don't do this and leave chunky bits in the end product which, speaking from experience, is super gross!


2 cups SIFTED Oat Flour

Bake 30-40 minutes.  Make sure they're cooked through - they're not that good if they're not cooked through.
