Ingredients

• Muffins:
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup xylitol
• 1 tsp raw honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup pumpkin

• Filling:
• 1/2 cup pumpkin
• 2 tbsp xylitol

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Meanwhile, mix all of the dry ingredients of the muffins together in a large bowl.
3. In a separate (small) bowl, mix the wet ingredients.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
5. Prep a muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray.
6. Mix all ingredients of the filling in a small bowl.
7. Add a scoop of the muffin batter into each muffin tin (leaving enough to cover the filling).
8. Next, add a scoop of the filling on top of the muffin batter, followed by another scoop of the batter (so the filling is in the middle).
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). Enjoy!
