Kid Friendly - These healthy pumpkin protein muffins are so quick and easy to make that even if you are a busy mom you can squeeze in a batch. They are the perfect size for little hands making them a healthy snack for kids, as well as a baby friendly muffin. A great way to sneak in a fruit for the little ones.

Budget Friendly - Costs less than $20.00 to make a batch of 24 pumpkin ricotta cheese muffins. There will be enough to feed family and friends.

Libby's Pumpkin Puree - You can use a different brand if you can't find Libby's brand or make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a small baking pumpkin in the oven at 400 degrees for 40 minutes then just scoop out the meat and blend in a food processor.

Part Skim Ricotta Cheese - I like the Calabro brand as it has no hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup or added MSG.

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour - Make sure you use pastry flour and not regular flour as pastry flour is a softer flour that substitutes for all-purpose in this pumpkin ricotta muffin recipe where tenderness is the goal.

Pumpkin Pie Spice - This spice has a warm complex sweetness with a delicate blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice bringing a homemade flavor to sweet recipes, like muffins, spice cakes, cookies, streusel toppings and of course, pumpkin pie.

Green Apple Shredded - I used a Granny Smith for this recipe and shredded it with a small hand box grater. You can also use a Honeycrisp apple or Golden Delicious.

1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F - Coat a 24 cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

2: In a medium bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, maple syrup, canola oil, vanilla extract and egg. Once mixed add in the shredded apple.

3: In a separate bowl mix your pastry flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Now combine both bowls and mix together.

4: Divide batter and fill muffin cups to the top.

5: Bake 14-16 minutes until golden...enjoy!!!

Pumpkin is a weight-loss friendly food because you can consume more of it than other carb sources — perfect for incorporating into recipes — like mini muffins. Pumpkin is a great source of fiber, which helps to curb your appetite.

A Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin (1 serving) contains 53g total carbs, 52g net carbs, 14g fat, 5g protein, and 350 calories. That is why you should make your own homemade pumpkin mini muffins and save yourself 300 calories.

• Mini muffin tins are usually fitted with a rim that is too tiny to grasp with bulky oven mitts. Avoid this struggle by leaving one corner empty when you fill the tin. Now you have a place to insert your thumb, allowing you to remove the tin without getting burned or squishing any of the muffins.
• Want to convert a muffin recipe into a loaf recipe? Just grab an 8 ½ inch by 4 ½ loaf pan and reduce the oven temperature by 50 degrees and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean..usually about 1 hour.
• If you only want to make a half batch of muffins you should fill the remaining muffin cups with water.
