Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder I used Vega Vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cooked plantain
  • 1 tbsp ground chia
  • 5 tbsp warm water
  • 2 tbsp flax meal
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp coconut butter

  • 4 drops liquid sweetener of your choice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a small bowl, create a gel by combining water, chia seeds, and flax seeds. Allow this mixture to sit for a few minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
  • In a large bowl or Vitamix, combine all the remaining ingredients, excluding the cranberries. This may include your dry and wet ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, or any other components specified in your recipe.
  • Add the chia and flax gel into the mixture and blend thoroughly.
  • Stir the cranberries in by hand to make sure they don't get crushed.
  • Grease or line your muffin tins.
  • Pour the batter into the muffin tins, dividing it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, keeping in mind that actual baking times may vary depending on your specific oven.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Then serve and enjoy.
