Date Syrup

Date syrup adds sweetness and pairs well with the caramel and chocolate flavors.

Pumpkin Puree

Baking Powder

Baking powder helps the muffins rise as they bake.

How To Make Chocolate Caramel Pumpkin Stuffed Muffins

1. Blend The Muffin Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 6-cup muffin pan. Silicone works best!

Add the oat flour, MoonBrew Sleep + Creatine Mix, cocoa powder, baking powder, applesauce, date syrup, and egg whites to a blender.

Blend until smooth and well combined. Do not add the pumpkin to the blender.

2. Fill The Muffin Cups

Divide half of the batter evenly between 6 muffin cups.

Add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin puree to the center of each muffin.

Top each muffin with the remaining batter, making sure the pumpkin is completely covered.

3. Bake

Bake at 350°F for 18 minutes, or until the muffins are set.

Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Tips For Making The Best Pumpkin Stuffed Muffins

Keep the pumpkin separate. The pumpkin is meant to create a distinct filling in the center, so don’t blend it into the muffin batter.

Cover the pumpkin completely. Make sure the remaining batter fully covers the pumpkin before baking.

Use plain pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling contains additional ingredients and can change the flavor and texture of the muffins.

Don’t overbake. These are small muffins and only need about 18 minutes in the oven.
