Protein Muffins- No flour!

Do you ever get a harsh craving for muffins or pancakes in the morning? I do!!! Unfortunately it's not always best for our waistlines to eat like that every morning.. This is a much healthier alternative to regular, sugary carby muffins. This is something you can feel good about!! So I adapted this recipe from "kneadtocook", she has her very own blog and I enjoy reviewing her original recipes!
 So here are the ingredients that I used to make these delicious protein muffins (you can make them into pancakes as well!)

Mine turned out really well and rose in the oven just like a normal muffin would, and the texture is great, they are nice and moist !

Also I don't have a camera so you will just have to trust me on this one . :P




You will need:

2 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 scoop vanilla or plain protein powder (whey is best, as it is the most easily absorbed into your body. But if you cannot have whey protein, hemp, rice or soy will do as well.)
1 pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (artificial is fine.)
1 mashed banana
2 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey




Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine eggs, mashed banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a bowl.

Pour in the protein powder and salt, and mix well.

Spray or grease a muffin tin, pour in the mixture into each section until halfway- three quarters full. It probably will not make a dozen muffins unless you make them mini sized. My batter only made 7 muffins, so it might be better to make them in a mini muffin tin.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, remove from oven when golden brown.


Once cooled, place in an airtight container and store them in the fridge or freezer.



Now you can enjoy a lower calorie, low carbohydrate breakfast or snack on the go!
