Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Whisk until well integrated.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, low-calorie sweetener, and plant-based milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together without over-mixing.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
