Blueberry Protein Muffins
Not feeling summer ready yet? I am sure the recent long weekend full of drinking beer and BBQ hopping did not help. I definitely took a couple of steps back this weekend but I find that having food prepared ahead of time allows me to get back on track quickly. Otherwise I will fall into the "I am still hungover from the weekend and too tired to cook food so I'll just get a bagel, oh and since I got a bagel this morning I might as well get takeout for lunch because I already started my day off on the wrong foot" routine. Anyways, my point is that muffins are easy to take on the go and I have a new "healthified" recipe so I am sharing it. I have been on a blueberry kick lately and am thrilled that I finally figured out how to bake healthy muffins that don't taste dry! These are only 60 calories per muffin and super low in fat. Exact nutrition per muffin includes 1g Fat, 8g Carbs, 5g Protein. So a couple of these are a perfect snack on the go...because I can't just eat one ;)
You will need:
1/2 banana
1 egg, 2 whites
3/4 cup oat flour (blend oats until they are flour consistency)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (I use Dannon Light&Fit)
Dash of baking soda
Dash of cinnamon
1/2 cup blueberries
Directions:
Preheat oven 350F
Blend wet ingredients then mix with dry to make batter-- don't add blueberries yet
Spray muffin pan and fill each slot 2/3
Add blueberries on top
Bake for 12 mins
The batch makes 11 muffins. And no I don't like that it makes an odd number either.
Enjoy!
