Nutty About Yogurt Contest

IMG_9224

Last month Stonyfield and Peanut Butter & Co. asked me if I’d like to participate in their Nutty About Yogurt recipe contest. I jumped at the opportunity since I love both companies and all that they do with their brands. The contest was to create a healthy breakfast option with Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butter and Stonyfield yogurt. My submission was Gluten-Free Pumpkin Peanut Butter Muffins with yogurt filling.

I chose to make muffins because they’re one of those breakfasts you can just grab and go. Sure, you can buy muffins at any Starbucks, but why do that when it’s cheaper to make your own? Plus, you probably can’t get something as delicious as pumpkin peanut butter or gluten-free.

The yogurt filling was inspired by those pastries with cream cheese filling except made lighter and healthier with Stonyfield yogurt. Because the muffins substitute fat-free yogurt, too, most of the fat in the muffins are the healthy fats found in peanut butter.

    Evan these look so good! I love how moist they probably are. Yum! I need muffin recipes to bring to kindergarten class b/c cake or anything with frosting is not allowed; only muffins. These look better than cake anyway 🙂

    I’ve saved the recipe for these and can’t wait to make them, but can I substitute regular white or whole wheat flour for the rice & chickpea flours?

      Yep, any wheat flour will do the trick.
