Apple & cinnamon protein muffins
Prep time: 10 mins Cooking time: 25 mins or until golden brown and skewer comes away clean Quantity: Makes 9 muffins
Ingredients:
- 100g oats
- 2 eggs
- 2 apples, grated
- 2 scoops of protein powder (I used vanilla. Vanilla or unflavoured is best for this recipe)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 100ml of unsweetened almond milk
- Half a tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional topping: I used oats. Other toppings could include nuts or seeds.
Method:
- Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. Preheat oven to 160C fan
- Blend oats to a flour consistency and set aside in a large mixing bowl
- Add the remaining dry ingredients to the oats bowl
- Mix in the grated apple and add the eggs and stir well
- Pour the almond milk into the bowl and mix to combine the ingredients
- Fill each muffin case so that it’s 2/3 full with mixture
- Sprinkle oats (or other topping) on each muffin
- Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and the skewer comes away clean
- Leave the muffins to cool and store them in an airtight container
These muffins will keep for 1 week, or place them in a sandwich bag in the freezer and take them out as and when you want them. Enjoy!
