  • Whole wheat flour: 1 cup 240 ml [8 fl oz.]
  • Vanilla protein powder: 1/2 cup 120 ml [4 fl oz.]
  • Baking powder: 1 tsp 5 ml [0.2 fl oz.]

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a muffin tin.
  2. Peel and finely chop the apples. Set them aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and your preferred natural sweetener.
  5. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples.
  7. Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each slot about 3/4 full.
  8. Place the tin in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. You’ll know the Healthy High Protein Apple Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

PRO TIPS
  1. To boost the protein content, consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds to the batter.
  2. Always use fresh apples for the best flavor. Avoid canned or pre-packaged versions.
  3. If you’re not a fan of almond milk, feel free to substitute it with another dairy-free alternative like oat or soy milk.
  4. Storing these muffins in an airtight container will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
