    LOVE this recipe!

    I'm making it now actually :) I like things very sweet, so one thing I did was to add a teaspoon of maple syrup to the batter -- it adds some calories, but I doubled the recipe, so that's divided over 8 muffins. Totally worth it :) It tastes so good and complements the pumpkin very well. (The batter, I mean... lol). I also added a touch of extra nutmeg.

    I used Aria women's protein powder (great stuff, lots of calcium as well) which doesn't have a very fine grain, so we'll see. It mixed fine in the batter, though.

    I'm also going to sprinkle a very thin layer of a sugar-nutmeg mix over the top midway through baking... it will brown as they cook for a burnt-sugar effect... yum :)

    sounds sooo yummy! I love pumpkin muffins from dunkin donuts but they are 600 cal D: this seems like a much healthier alternative :)

    I love sweet too! Good call with the syrup! My last batch I added a few dark chocolate chips. I crumbled 2 of the muffins in my non fat Greek yogurt this morning with some fresh raspberries. (pumpkin and raspberries? weird, but it worked!)

    I LOVE pumpkin anything, I can't wait to try this. I'm not familiar with the second ingredient. Where could I buy this and what brand oil did you use?

    The 2nd ingredient is my whey protein powder. You can use any brand that you like! My coconut oil is Nutiva.

    I am trying this now! 4 muffins are in the oven. I used 1 tsp. olive oil (all I had) and Target vanilla whey protein powder. I also used 1 tsp of agave. I hope these turn out nicely... I will keep you posted!

    Mine came out pretty good. Yes, they are a little spongey. If you want a more traditional texture, then add flour or oats. But I don't mind it and they "look" very pretty. Mine came out to 102 cals/muffin using olive oil (1tsp), a whole egg, and pumpkin pie mix (vs. pure pumpkin).
