Time 45m

Yield 8 mini loaves, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup dry oats (I used toasted not quick cooking)
8 scoops vanilla protein powder (4 servings worth)
8 tablespoons flax seed meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups egg whites or 2 cups egg substitute
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon stevia (or 1/2 tsp Splenda)
1/2 banana
1/2 cup crushed pineapple in juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Use a food processor, magic bullet, coffee grinder, etc. to process oats into oat flour.
Combine oat flour, protein powder, flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon and stevia/Splenda.
In a separate bowl, combine egg whites and pumpkin.
Mix dry and wet ingredients together until blended.
Pour into a mini loaf tin (makes 8 mini loaves) or two muffin tins (makes 24 muffins.
Bake 10-15 minutes for muffins or 30 minutes for mini loaves(my convection oven cooks quickly, the temperature and time may need to be adjusted accordingly).

Tips:

Use a ripe pumpkin for the best flavor. You can check if a pumpkin is ripe by pressing on the skin. It should be firm but not hard.
If you don't have flaxseed meal, you can grind whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or food processor.
Feel free to add other ingredients to your muffins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
