Berry Protein Muffins

by SALLY O'NEIL - the-fit-foodie.com

Sometimes I don’t feel like having an omelette after a workout. It’s not always easy *or palatable* to get your protein needs. After much testing *poor me* this muffin recipe gets the Fit Foodie tick of approval and is a great post-workout snack. Not dissimilar in taste to your typical cafe muffin, but this one is loaded with muscle-loving amino acids that help build and repair. Also known as super muffins. That’s right.

SERVES: 10

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten free or regular)

• 1/2 cup vanilla (or unflavoured) protein powder

• 2 tbsp coconut flour

• 1 cup egg whites

• 1 tbsp Natvia (granulated stevia)*

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 4 tbsp cottage cheese (banana would also work)

• 1/2 cup frozen berries

*can sub honey, rice malt syrup, maple syrup or sweetener of choice

METHOD:

• Preheat oven to 160ºC degrees

• In a blender, add all the ingredients apart from the berries and blend until smooth.

• Gently fold in your berries.

• Spoon mixture into a muffin tin sprayed with coconut oil (or silicone muffin cases) and fill close to the top.

• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

• Allow to cool then pop them out and enjoy!
