- 2 egg
- 0.42 cup olive oil
- 1/2 fl oz liquid sweetener or honey
- 0.18 oz cinnamon

- 1Muffin batter: In a bowl combine almond flour and baking powder; set aside.

- 3Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a homogeneous batter forms.
- 4Cream cheese topping: In a small bowl blend the softened cream cheese with the whey protein powder until smooth.
- 5Divide the batter evenly into 9 muffin tins, then pipe a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto the top of each muffin, using a pastry bag to create a swirl that slightly sinks into the batter.
