Pumpkin protein muffins

It has just been a pumpkin kind of night at the house with the big orange door... I made these pumpkin muffins PACKED full of protein and good-for-you stuff and they turned out G-reat!! After sampling one------and a half, I stuck the rest in the freezer to pull out for morning breakfasts this fall!

Here's the recipe, adapted from dashingdish.com

1 cup pumpkin
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 egg whites
1/2 cup stevia
1 3/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup protein powder( I used choc mocha)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup golden raisins ( and/or nuts)

Blend all dry ingredients in a blender to form a course powder. Mix in the remaining ingredients and fold in raisins. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. These will come out very moist, so a toothpick may not come out clean.
