Description

Delicious and nutritious muffins that combine the flavors of cinnamon rolls with the benefits of protein, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp almond milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, consider folding in chopped nuts or raisins. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to your liking.
