I love to bake on the weekends. One of my favorite things to bake are muffins, which are an easy grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. To keep them healthy, these muffins have whole-grains, healthy fat and protein thanks to Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator, fruit and non-fat dairy. The yogurt filling adds a special touch while still keeping this a healthy treat. If you want to make these not gluten-free, you can easily substitute 2 cups of whole wheat flour for the rice flour, chickpea flour, and arrowroot starch.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
  • 6 tbsp. chickpea flour
  • 2 tbsp. arrowroot or corn starch
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp. pumpkin spice
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator
  • 3/4 cup Stonyfield organic 0% Plain yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • For the filling:
  • 1/4 cup Stonyfield organic 0% Plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp. arrowroot or corn starch

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Sift together the brown rice flour, chickpea flour, arrowroot starch, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, pumpkin, Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator, yogurt, water and eggs until evenly mixed.
  4. Combine the wet with the dry. Mix together all of the ingredients into a batter.
  5. Line 12 muffin tins and carefully pour the batter in 3/4 of the way up each well.
  6. Make the filling by mixing together the yogurt, powdered sugar, egg yolk, and starch.
  7. Make a well on the top of each muffin with a spoon and drop about 1/2 a tablespoon of filling in the center of the batter for each muffin.
  8. Bake for 26-30 minutes until the filling has set. Remove from the oven and let cool.
