Pumpkin protein muffins with cream cheese frosting

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry four
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
2 tbsp ground flax seed
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp clove
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 small can of pumpkin
1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla
2 eggs 1 egg white
1/2 cup agave nectar

Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl then combine all of the wet ingredients in another. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. The batter will be thick. Pray muffin tin or loaf pan with cooking spray and bake at 350 for 20-30min keeping an eye on them.

Cream cheese icing

4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp vanilla
1-2 tbsp agave nectar

Combine all of the ingredients and mix until smooth. Add agave until you get the texture you're looking for.
Since these are topped with cream cheese i stored mine in the fridge and microwaved them for 20 seconds before enjoying. I cannot believe i came up with the recipe on my own! It turned out great. These are an awesome "clean" snack or dessert, even my children like them!
