Perfect Pumpkin Protein Muffins for Pregnancy... with Chocolate

12/3/2013

0 Comments

 
Sorry... I was in the mood for alliteration and I just couldn't resist.

So a fellow Birth Boot Camp instructor, Alexa Gumm, made a pumpkin muffin that the other BBCI's were raving about. She posted the recipe and it looked awesome... but it was missing one thing... protein! So I decided to play with the recipe and I'm really happy with the outcome. The muffins are moist and rich, eating more than one would certainly be a challenge. I would even give moms with gestational diabetes the green light to go ahead and try this one! One muffin comes out to 7 grams of protein!

What you'll need:
4 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 (16 oz.) can pureed pumpkin
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 package chocolate chips (I use dark chocolate chunks)

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and yogurt until smooth.
Add in dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full and bake 16-20 minutes at 400 degrees.
