  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: oat flour, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, maple syrup, stevia, and plant-based milk until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
