Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Fresh water peaches

Why I love this recipe!

Delicious - The best part about this healthier protein muffin recipe is that they actually taste amazing! They're fluffy, flavorful, and super moist on the inside. – Low Sugar - These pumpkin muffins are sweetened with coconut sugar and a sugar-free vanilla collagen powder. They can easily be made sugar free by using Lakanto Golden Monkfruit.

Dairy-Free Frosting

Add the thick part of the coconut cream from the top of the can into your chilled mixing bowl.  Do NOT add the liquid part at the bottom or it will not thicken up into a whipped cream. Whip the mixture on high with an electric hand or stand mixer for a few minutes until it becomes thicker. Next, add two scoops of Vanilla Collagen Powder. Whip for a few more minutes until it becomes thick and fluffy.
