MacMadame - your protein muffins
Hi Marie,
Can you share your protein muffin recipe? Do you have the nutritional breakdown? I saved the one you gave me yesterday and had it for breakfast today. I really like things that are dense and chewy and this fits that perfectly. Yum!! Thank you.

Technically it's a protein bar. But I made it so it would come out more like a muffin.
Here is the recipe I started with:
Homemade Protein Bars
The Dry Stuff
1 cup rolled oats (anything but instant)
1 cup cooked quinoa (or a second cup of oats)
1-1/2 cups protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
1/4 cup ground flax seed
The Wet Stuff
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup Splenda or other sweetener
2 eggs
Other Stuff
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup dried fruit
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick spray.
Mix the dry stuff together in medium bowl.
Mix the wet stuff together in a larger bowl.
Dump the dry stuff in to the wet stuff and mix well. Fold in your nuts
and fruit.
Pour in to baking pan, bake about 18-20 minutes.
Makes 12 bars. Store in fridge, or freeze and take out about 4-5 hours
before eating.
For these, I didn't have quinoa, so I used 2 cups of oats. Also, I don't use Peanut Butter. I use PB2, which is a powdered form with 85% less fat. I put in 1/2 c. of powder and added 1/4 c. of water so it was slightly more PB than the recipe called for. Also, I used the PB2 with Chocolate.
I used greek yogurt for the yogurt, not regular.
I used Chocolate protein powder.
I used 1 c. of walnuts instead of a mixture of nuts and dried fruit.
I put them in a muffin cup instead of a pan. Then I cooked for about 10 min. instead of 18.
Because of everything I changed, I'm not sure the nutritional stats but each muffin should have at least 10 g of protein, maybe more and no added sugar.
