Recipe: Protein Muffins

This is one of my husbands favorite recipes and its super easy to make.  I made up this recipe with a couple of bananas that were going bad.  Each muffin contains approx 5 grams of protein depending on how much protein is in your protein powder.  There is zero sugar and they do taste great! They freeze well and I like them for when you need something quick before the gym or to take camping, hiking, etc.

This recipe makes approx 24 muffins.

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups Oat Bran
• 3 whole eggs
• 3 egg whites
• Protein powder, I use 2 scoops of Vegan Vanilla Protien Powder which is 25g protein per scoop
• 2 bananas
• 2.5 tsp of Baking powder
• 1.5 cups water 
• 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (optional)
• 1 tsp Grated, Unsweetened Dark Chocolate (optional)

Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. In a large mixing bowl mix together eggs and cut up bananas.  Mash with a fork or potato masher to make into a mush

                                              

3.  Add Protein powder, oat bran and baking powder.  Mix well by hand then add water.  Add 1/2 water first, then mix with a hand mixer, then add the other half until it reaches the proper consistency
                                                  

4.  Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill non stick muffin tin.  Each should be approximately 2/3 full.  NOTE: if you do not have a non stick muffin tin, you can use a small amount of cooking spray or cupcake liners.
                                                  

5.  Bake in oven at 375F for 20 minutes.  Let cool and freeze if desired
                                                  

NOTE: I use Vegan protein powder as a preference   My husband does not tolerate other protein powders so hence we use Vegan.  Regular Whey powders should work just fine :)
