Moist pumpkin muffins, warm spice, and a very good reason to turn on the oven.
These pumpkin spice protein muffins are made with HelloAmino’s updated Your Dream Protein Muffin Mix, pure pumpkin purée, and Greek yogurt. They’re easy to make and even easier to look forward to with your morning coffee.
I created this recipe specifically for our updated muffin mix—so if pumpkin muffins were your go-to with our previous version, save this one for your next batch.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Deliciously moist, with real pumpkin in every bite.

Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 pouch HelloAmino Your Dream Protein Muffin Mix (updated formulation)
- ¾ cup pure pumpkin purée
- ⅓ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp 2% milk
- 6 tbsp oil
- 2 whole large eggs
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Mix-In
Chopped dark chocolate. Pumpkin, warm spice, and little pockets of chocolate are a combination I’ll happily make on repeat.
Use pure pumpkin purée, rather than pumpkin pie filling, which contains added ingredients and spices.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Protein Muffins
Step 1: Get ready
Preheat your oven and prepare your muffin pan according to the directions on your updated HelloAmino muffin mix pouch.
Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, milk, oil, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until combined.
Step 3: Add your muffin mix
Add the pouch of HelloAmino muffin mix and stir until combined. Fold in chopped dark chocolate if using.
Step 4: Bake
Portion the batter and bake as directed on your pouch, following its muffin size, oven temperature, and baking time.
A Quick Note About Our Updated Muffin Mix
Some of the ingredients on our new muffin mix have changed.
Our updated pouch calls for Greek yogurt, and canned pumpkin is not a straight swap for the yogurt. This pumpkin spice recipe uses pumpkin alongside Greek yogurt, with adjusted amounts of the other ingredients, to create the moist muffins you see here.
For this version, follow the ingredient quantities above and the baking directions on your current pouch.
Pumpkin Spice Muffin FAQs
Can I replace all the Greek yogurt with pumpkin?
For this recipe, use both the pumpkin purée and Greek yogurt in the amounts listed. It was developed with that combination, so replacing the yogurt with more pumpkin may change the result.
Does this recipe work with the previous HelloAmino muffin mix?
This recipe was created specifically for the updated Your Dream Protein Muffin Mix. If you have an older pouch, follow its directions or a recipe developed for that version.
Can I add chocolate?
Absolutely. Fold chopped dark chocolate into the batter before portioning. Check that your chocolate is gluten-free if needed.
