Healthy Pumpkin Protein Muffins

Hey Friends!

    Where do I start?  :-)

I found this recipe about a year ago and I haven't stopped making it since.  I even have the recipe memorized and it takes me MAYBE 7 minutes to whip this up.  I have it for breakfast with coffee ALL....THE....TIME!

It is SOOOOOOO yummy and healthy!
My husband loves them too (and he's not even a "health nut" like I am.)

Healthy Pumpkin Protein Muffins

I've experimented with the original recipe MANY times and have finally come up with the PERFECT combination.  They are incredibly moist and dense.

Alright, here is the recipe. 
(I know, I had a little too much fun taking pictures - sorry!)

HEALTHY PUMPKIN PROTEIN BREAKFAST MUFFINS


                   
 2 OVERRIPE bananas
1/2 c pumpkin puree
1/2 c egg whites
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1 c water
2 cups oats
1/2 tsp salt
Stevia to your taste
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/3 c Pea protein powder (raw)
1 1/2 cups berries. (Raspberries and blueberries are my favorites)
*if you get vanilla flavored pea protein powder you might not need any extra stevia.


                 
          
 Just mix all ingredients (except berries) till smooth. Save berries for last and gently fold them in.
Put liners in muffin tins and lightly spray with oil of choice (I use coconut) Spoon in mix and bake at 350 (I use convection setting) for 30 minutes. Should make 12 full muffins. I put them in a Ziploc bag.
EASY!!!!

 NOTE: THESE ARE MUCH BETTER STORED IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND EATEN THE FOLLOWING DAY.

I don't know why, but these do not taste great warm right out of the oven so no use in trying them right away, haha.

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
