Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix well.

Notes
Use unsweetened pumpkin puree and adjust sweeteners to taste. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins soft. Add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits can enhance flavor and texture.
