Protein Bran Pumpkin Muffins
As you all probably already know...Jena is NOT a baker. I can cook till the cows come home but I am notorious for burning and ruining practically anything that needs baked. However, in this awesome turn-of-events, I have created a protein muffin with pumpkin and bran. Genius? Maybe... Delicious ABSOLUTELY! Moist and filling too.
(with and without raisins)
Protein Bran Pumpkin Muffins
1 cup oat bran
1/2c flax meal
1/3c. canned pumpkin
1 egg
1/4c splenda brown sugar
1/4c splenda
3/4c whole wheat flour
4 scoops vanilla protein powder (I used body fortress)
1 cup Greek Yogurt (I used 0%)
1tsp. baking soda
1tsp. baking powder
1/2tsp salt
3/4 cup light soy milk (I used 8th continent light vanilla)
1tsp vanilla extract
1/2tsp. cinnamon (more if you like)
Preheat oven to 350*F. In a large bowl, combine oat bran, flax meal, greek yogurt and soy milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Fill a pam-sprayed muffin pan and fill 3/4 of the way up. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Makes 18 muffins
If you want to add a 1/2c of raisins to it, the nutrition changes a little to:
I'm going to venture to guess that this recipe can be used as a base for a variety of whatever muffins you'd like to make. Apple cinnamon might be nice... maybe some fresh or frozen blueberries...cranberry...banana nut... The possibilities are endless!!!

These look great!
I am wondering though, where do you get oat bran and flax meal? Can I buy it at a regular grocery store?

Somewhere inside me, there is a fat girl just dying to get back out. I mostly just try to keep her subdued with sugar free pudding, but she's not amused.
