Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 scoop whey protein powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups grated carrot
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons raw sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line two 4-cup jumbo muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Whisk flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Gently stir in carrots and raisins.
  • Whisk maple syrup and oil together in a medium bowl. Add eggs, yogurt, and vanilla and beat well. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined. It will be a bit lumpy.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins. Sprinkle raw sugar and pumpkin seeds over the tops.
  • Bake muffins in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the largest muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool the muffins on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
