This first recipe is originally from Jillian Michaels. I modified it a bit to make it even healthier with Shaklee protein and it's also Gluten Free... YIPEEEEEE!!!


Harvest Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 cups all-purpose flour (I used Pamela's Gluten Free)
  • 1/2 Cup Shaklee Instant Soy Protein
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup pumpkin, packed solidly
Preparation

In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg; set aside.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter until light; beat in honey, egg and pumpkin. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until just blended; stir in walnuts.

Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined 2-1/2 inch muffin cups. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove muffins from pan to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This next recipe, I made myself. I keep seeing ads for Pumpkin Spice Latte's or similar drinks. I came up with my own healthy version. If you don't like coffee (Mom), just leave it out or add extra almond milk or water.

1-2 droppers of liquid Stevia
4-6 oz Organic Coffee
