Banana Pumpkin Protein Muffins

These Banana Pumpkin protein Muffins could be one of my favorite Fall sweets. Like ever. They are topped with an unbeatable pecan streusel topping. They are super soft and fluffy, gluten free, and have no added sugar too! Instead of using your typical oil or butter in the muffins, I use Greek yogurt and it creates the PERFECT texture. It’s an easy way to cut the calories & fat. Plus, it gives you some extra protein at the same time! Be sure to try my Greek Yogurt Banana Coffee Cake recipe as well.
