Pumpkin Muffins with Protein Frosting
From last month's M&F Hers...
Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour (2 cups oats)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
3/4 cup splenda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. all spice
1/4 tsp. cloves (pumpkin spice seasoning)
15 oz. canned pumpkin
2 eggs (4 egg whites)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (almond milk)
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into baking sheet or muffin tin that is lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Frosting:
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup splenda
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tbsp. skim milk (almond milk)
Mix together and drizzle over cake/muffins once it has had a chance to cool.

that's a fuckton of ingredients... LOL - I highly doubt my skills in the kitchen would pull that off... if it isn't protein, I can't cook it (other than rice, oatmeal, and pasta) LOL

Come on. It's a simple recipe. Don't let the number of ingredients scare you, broseph.

Lou - I'm the same way... when I see lots of ingredients, I'm like "the hell with that!" LOL. I already had most of them though, which made it seem less intimidating. If I have to make a special shopping trip just so I can make a recipe, it's usually not worth it. This was a good one though, so I rolled with it. I'm sure you can make a simpler version using oats, canned pumpkin and a little stevia... much less work and it should taste just as good!

OOOOO-weeee I'm def going to give this a try after the USAs! (modified though.. it looks like WAY too much splenda- I bet stevia would work better anyway)

I agree! I only use stevia as my daily sweetener, but for such a large quantity, I didn't think I had enough packets to rip open. Does anyone know if there's a place to buy stevia in the box for use in cooking/baking, like splenda has?"The gym is one of life's best arenas for building the toughest of men.

If you make it to Toms River on Saturday you're gonna have to bring me some muffins
Do you have a trader joe's near you? I've seen Stevia in a box/container there.

Jon finished the rest of it last night, but I could make some more Friday night to bring Saturday morning!
The closest Whole Foods or Trader Joes are both like 45 minutes away, so I've never been. I think I'm going to plan a grocery shopping day JUST to make a special stop there though because there's so many things I want/need that I can't get at ShopRite or A&P."The gym is one of life's best arenas for building the toughest of men.

I order bottles of stevia powder from Netrition or Amazon. Sweet Leaf Stevia powder. 1/4 tsp = 1/2 cup sugar or something like that.
