Ingredients

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 scoop whey protein powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups grated carrot
½ cup raisins
½ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup olive oil
2 large eggs
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons raw sugar
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line two 4-cup jumbo muffin tins with paper liners.
Whisk flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Gently stir in carrots and raisins.
Whisk maple syrup and oil together in a medium bowl. Add eggs, yogurt, and vanilla and beat well. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined. It will be a bit lumpy.
Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins. Sprinkle raw sugar and pumpkin seeds over the tops.
Bake muffins in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the largest muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool the muffins on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note:

You can use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt if you prefer. The raw sugar and pumpkin seeds are optional.
