That something turned out to be these strawberry protein muffins. I actually made two batches on Friday night when I was testing the recipe — one with chocolate chips and one without. Isaac says the chocolate chips make the muffins so naturally that’s the version I’m sharing with you!
Ingredients Needed
oat flour – I made my own oat flour, but feel free to use store-bought. I don’t recommend substituting with all-purpose flour. protein powder – my favorite protein powder is Nuzest. Use code eatingbirdfood for 15% off your order! coconut sugar – we’re only using 1/4 cup coconut sugar for the entire batch of muffins. To make this recipe low-sugar you can use 2 Tablespoons of stevia baking blend or 6-8 stevia packets. egg whites – I’m referring to the thick, clear liquid when you crack open the egg. You can also buy a carton of plain egg whites at the grocery store. Greek yogurt – I like to use plain or vanilla non-fat. Feel free to use a dairy-free yogurt if you prefer. strawberries – the star of the show here! chocolate chips – I love Lily’s chocolate chips for a low-sugar option and Enjoy Life chocolate chips for a dairy-free/soy-free option.
The Best Protein Muffins
To amp up the protein content of these muffins we’re using a blend of oat flour, protein powder and egg whites. Honestly, I think it’s a winning combo because these muffins might be the best protein baked good I’ve ever made. I feel like some protein baked goods have a strange texture, but not these muffins — they’re light, fluffy and moist. Plus, you can’t taste the protein powder at all and the strawberries and chocolate chips add the perfect amount of sweetness.
How to Store Strawberry Protein Muffins
Let the muffins cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.
