Made this Sunday morning and the kitchen smelled like a gym locker full of pumpkin and whey. Tried the muffin after it cooled, the golden top cracked slightly, the interior stayed moist, delivering a protein-packed bite that kept me full. Added a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds for extra crunch, which held up well during the bake. Rated four stars because the snack fuels workouts, though a dash more cinnamon would lift the flavor.
