  • Pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven 350°

Mix flax “eggs” and let sit 5 minutes. Combine flour, protein powder, salt and spices. In a separate bowl mix pumpkin purée, vanilla, apple sauce, flax eggs and stevia. Line muffin tins with Parchment paper liners (5 large or 10 small). Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined.
