The ingredients for Pumpkin Coconut Muffins are:

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup hemp protein powder (I use Nutiva Organic Hemp + Fiber)
1/2 cup raw turbinado sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (I used Let's Do Organic reduced fat shredded unsweetened coconut - Zach prefers the fluffy, finer texture of this brand of shredded coconut)
1 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 egg whites
2 T canola oil
1/2 tsp vanilla

Here is how you make Pumpkin Coconut Muffins:

~ Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line muffin cups with paper liners, and coat your paper liners with just a little cooking spray.~ In a large bowl, stir together the flour, hemp protein powder, turbinado sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.~ Stir the coconut flakes into the flour mixture.~ In a seperate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg whites, canola oil, and vanilla.~ Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined - the batter will be stiff.~ Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them all the way to the top. Bake for 20 minutes - until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean, but the muffins are still moist and tender.~ Allow to cool on a wire rack, or serve warm!Serving Size: Makes 12 muffinsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHAVAROTH.
