Cook time: PT25M
Total time: PT30M

Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats ((100 grams))
- 1 cup pumpkin puree ((244 grams))
- 1 cup Greek yogurt ((227 grams - I used Siggis 0%))
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 packed cup vanilla flavored protein powder ( (~50-60 grams)*)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Add the oats to a Vitamix, blender, or food processor and process until a flour forms (about 20 seconds).
3. Add the pumpkin, Greek yogurt, eggs, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and blend again until well combined. Try not to overprocess it if you can. Stir in the chocolate chips**.
4. Distribute into 12 silicone muffin liners (or regular muffin liners that are greased).
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 25 minutes will be a little moister while 30 minutes won't be as moist. Enjoy!
