Delightful muffins that combine the flavors of cinnamon rolls with a healthy protein boost, perfect for breakfast or a post-workout snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or cinnamon flavor)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup raisins or golden raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, eggs, and honey (or maple syrup) in another bowl until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just mixed.
  5. Fold in the chopped nuts and raisins gently into the batter (if using).
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for up to three months. Substitute eggs with flax eggs for a vegan version.
