4 eggs
3 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup Splenda
1/4 c flax seed meal
1t vanilla
1/4 c melted butter
1/2 can of pumpkin puree
1 tsp nutmeg and cinnamon

non-stick spray or paper muffin liners
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray. Combine the eggs, oil, and cream; stir to blend. Add the whey powder, baking powder, Splenda, Stir until just combined. Do not over stir or muffins will be tough.

Spoon 1/2 the batter into the prepared muffin tins.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until muffins spring back to the touch and no longer look moist on top. Serve warm.

205 calories each, 4.5 carbs each, these aren't small muffins either! I love these, espeically in the Autumn

I've got a quicker one. Not sure how many cal...etc..

1 box Spice cake mix (dry...DO NOT add oil/water/eggs...etc..)
1 15 oz can of pumpkin.

Mix it,
pop it in you muffin cups

Bake...
I'm going from memory here...I think it's 350 degrees for 20 minutes

They're pretty tasty & you can do them w/ Chocolate cake mix too.
