Flourless Pumpkin Muffins

I wish I was a better food photographer, but maybe I will get better as I go along!

These muffins are a recipe I developed after trying a few different recipes and adjusting them.  They are flourless and high in protein.  They are gluten free, casein free, and soy free.  

2 cups almond meal (not almond flour)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp soda

2 tablespoons cinnamon

2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cloves

1 cup pumpkin puree

4 tablespoons agave nectar (or other sweetener)

6 eggs

4 large tablespoons of protein powder (I use Raw Protein by Garden of Life--see post on 12/26/12)

mini chocolate chips as desired (I use Enjoy Life brand to fit with GFCF diet)

350 degrees

25 min

makes 12 large muffins

**Notes:

The recipe is a little heavy on the spices.  You can adjust them to fit your own tastes.  

Add protein powder until desired consistency, adjusting as needed.

The consistency is like a corn meal muffin because of the almond meal.
