Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, almond milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each muffin cup (about one-third full).
  6. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter to the center of each muffin.
  7. Cover with more muffin batter until the cups are about three-quarters full.
  8. Add a small dollop of peanut butter on top of each muffin and sprinkle with crushed peanuts if desired.
  9. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
