Instruções

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and lightly grease them.

Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk 200g pumpkin puree, 120g sourdough discard, 140g Greek yogurt, 2 eggs, 75g maple syrup, 42g (3 tbsp) melted butter, and 2 tsp vanilla until smooth.

Mix dry ingredients: Mix in 120g all-purpose flour, 60g whole wheat flour, 40g protein powder, 1tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Stir in 90g chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or pecans if using.

Fill tins: Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups (about ¾ full). Sprinkle a few extra chips or nuts on top

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 13–16 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
