    Can you make muffins too? 😉

    Thanks for posting the recipe and trying it out. The use of pumpkin for sweet (rather than savoury) things is something I need to try at some point.

    Mine will be green because of my protein powder (Vega) 🤷🏿‍♀️

    Yes, I too will most likely be trying the 'muffins' too.

    Here's another promising one:

    Pumpkin Muffins

    Per muffin (makes 12) 59 calories/7.1g carbs/0.4g fat/5.1g protein

    1 15 oz can 100% pumpkin purée
    0.5c swerve brown sugar substitute
    3/4c fat free evaporated milk
    2 eggs or equivalent egg substitute (I used 92g egg beaters)
    1t vanilla
    2/3c White whole wheat flour
    2t pumpkin pie spice
    1/4t baking soda
    1/4t baking powder
    Pinch of salt

    Meringue

    6 egg whites, room temp (I used liquid egg whites from a carton and they worked fine but I know some people have trouble whipping these so YMMV)
    1/4t cream of tartar
    Pinch of salt
    6T swerve confectioners

    Directions

    preheat oven to 350F, grease a 12-tin nonstick muffin pan (do not use liners)

    in a large mixing bowl, mix pumpkin, sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla. In a small mixing bowl, mix remaining muffin ingredients. Pour dry mixture into wet mixture and mix until smooth.

    Pour batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Cook 25 min. Let cool. Preheat broiler.

    Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add swerve and continue beating until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy (do not overbeat). Spread topping over cooled muffins in pan.

    Broil 1-2 min, until tops are golden, watching carefully

    Eat immediately or wait to put the topping on until right before you eat (the tops don't keep well for long because the meringue deflates).

    Oh wow @PAPYRUS3, the muffins look so moist and tasty! The meringue is a nice touch. I've only tried making it once before though; what an arm workout!

    I'm not sure but it should work as the protein that is present in both are there to help add structure to the bread.
    Show us if you make them!

    I looked over the ingredients for the first recipe, Protein Pumpkin bread and I don't have the liquid stevia and I use real maple syrup not the low cal version. I don't know enough to make substitutions - I could use honey, which is liquid

    low-cal high-protein pumpkin bread

    preheat oven to 350 degrees

    line bread pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick baking spray

    dry ingredients: 1c oat fiber
    2 scoops vanilla protein
    3.5 ounces (a bit under half a cup)
    lakanto golden monkfruit granulated sweetener
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon cloves

    wet ingredients: 150g pumpkin puree 210g egg whites 1-inch piece of ginger, microplaned or chopped very fine 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon butter extract 1 teaspoon maple extract about 1 cup of water (as needed to attain thick pancake batter texture)

    whisk dry ingredients together, then add wet and mix until no dry spots remain.

    bake for 45-55 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

    per 1/4 loaf (2 thick slices): 97 calories, 30g carb(26g fiber), 15g protein and 0.5g fat. Highly recommend warm with some whipped cream cheese!

    notes:

    next time I'll add a bit more pumpkin puree, the pumpkin flavor is fairly mild. highly recommend using fresh ginger though!

    **again, I haven't tried this one either - but sure looks good (I like the addition to the seasonal spices to this one too)

    I made this last night, but had to modify a bit because I didn't have all the ingredients.
    I used oatmeal because we don't have oat fiber in Italy
    I put in 60g of french vanilla cream protein powder
    The pp is very sweet, so I eliminated the sweetener
    I used the entire egg
    I used 1 tsp of real butter
    When I added 1 cup of water at the end, the batter was very runny, and I panicked a bit, so added 50g chia seeds (which absorb liquid). The loaf was moist but not runny.

    The loaf came out weighing 845g. I considered 100g as a portion. Calories 157 per portion, which I think is great. 12g of protein.fqt818jm7iqw.jpg

    A 100g slice is large and very filling. It is a little crunchy--maybe the chia. The taste is good. I plan on modifying until I get it right where I want it.

    @snowflake954 - Yours look so good! Probably tasted better with the substitution of oatmeal and addition of egg, etc.,

    It doesn't look anything like the picture in your recipe but, you know, it tastes even better today after it's sat for awhile. The crunch from the chia is nice. I'll be making it again--thanks for the original recipe.
