SUPER nutty protein muffins

hello hello! i’m so glad you liked my love story

i have to admit that i wrote that on my train ride home, via my iphone, then emailed it to myself

by the time i got home pretty late from work, all i had to do with copy, paste & insert pictures

now that’s a commitment to blogging.

actually i’m just so addicted to you guys that i’ll find any rhyme, reason, or route to blog.

speaking of working late.

since i started my new job, and things are slightly busier then they were in the past, quick, delicious & easily portable healthy snacks have become my savior

i’ve become the tupperware & insulated bag lady

ain’t no shame in that

i’ve been loving playing around with different variations of protein muffins, bars, snacks, etc and i wanted to share with you my newest love & creation

it’s nutty so prepare to be nutted OUT.

disregard my gross muffin tin that’s from the 1920s. it’s not my fault it’s deej’s

ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup oat flour (ground up oats in food processor)
  • 1/2 cup almond meal (i used trader joe’s)
  • 2 servings vanilla protein powder (i used my true protein blend)
  • 8 oz sweet potato & apple baby food
  • 3 T unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup nunaturals stevia baking blend
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup walnut pieces

mix wet ingredients, & dry ingredients then stir in the chopped walnuts. use a 1/4 cup measuring spoon and drop into sprayed muffin tin or muffin holders. bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
