¼ cup flour
¼ cup sweetener I used Truvia brown sugar
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 scoop unflavored casein protein
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup pumpkin
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla extract

for the frosting:

3 tbsp softened cream cheese I used Philadelphia Reduced Fat
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sweetener I used Truvia Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener
orange sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F (177° C).
Mix flour, sweetener, whey protein, casein protein, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
In a second bowl, combine Greek yogurt, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together before combining the wet and dry ingredients.
Add batter to muffin liners sprayed with non-stick cooking oil. Make sure the batter is equally divided so the muffins cook evenly.
Bake the muffins for 15 minutes. While the muffins are baking, make the frosting with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and sweetener.
Once the muffins have cooled down, apply the frosting, add sprinkles, and enjoy.
