The Protein Works Apple & Cinnamon Protein Muffins

Today I decided to do a bit of baking. I had seen this recipe on The Protein Works Facebook page a while ago and I saved the recipe and decided to try it out.

Apple & Cinnamon Protein Muffins

• 1 Apple, peeled and chopped
• 1 Egg
• 170g Natural Yogurt

• 60g Apple Cinnamon Swirl Whey Protein 80

[I realise I accidentally put in my coconut oil in there, I didn't use it in the mix]

If you want to add some icing on top, which I didn't do, the ingredients for that are :

• 5tbsp Extra Light Cream Cheese, at room temperature
• 1tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1tbsp Honey 

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 180C/Gas Mark 5, then line a muffin tray with 10 cases
2. Mix together all of the dry ingredients (oats, whey, cinnamon, etc.)
3. In a separate bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients (yogurt, milk, etc.)
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, then stir until combined
5. Gently fold in the apple, but don't over mix
6. Spoon mixture into muffin cases & bake for around 17 minutes
7. Once they're out of the oven, inject with optional nut butter

These were so yummy, I feel I may have over baked them as to me they didn't look ready when my timer went off so I left them in for an extra 5 minutes. Even still, I think they tasted very nice, if just a touch dry because of leaving them in a bit too long.

Please let me know if you try these and let me know how they turn out.

Happy baking :)
