Here's another for those that like muffins. It has no flour, less fat and less ingredients. So it may be a better option for some. They are TERRIFIC!
Blueberry Protein Muffins
4 egg whites
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup oats
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ cup Splenda
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (or flavor of your choice)
Combine all ingredients until blended well.
Mix in frozen blueberries and drop by the spoonful into muffin holders.
Bake at 375 degrees for thirteen minutes.
Makes 12 cupcakes regular sized muffins, 24 1/2 sized muffins.
The nutrition information will vary depending on the protein powder you use. When I made mine, I actually substituted blueberry protein powder in place of vanilla protein powder. Depending on your taste, you could substitute different fruit (or nuts even) in place of blueberries and different flavors of protein powder instead of vanilla. I've thought a lot about trying banana protein powder with some sort of nut in place of blueberries. Or maybe even SF chocolate chips with chocolate protein powder, topped with some SF chocolate icing for a death by chocolate version? The possibilitis are endless really.
For the tiny blueberry protein powder muffins I made (which were about 1/2 the size of the recipe ones - I think my mix made 24 instead of 12 because I wanted them to back to about 1/4 cup size instead of normal 1/2 cup size muffins), the nutrition facts follow:
59.36 calories
.23 g fat
10.59 g carbs (hey... it's got fruit in it, ok?)
5.28 g protein
