Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 182kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups old-fashioned oatmeal not instant, quick cooking, or steal cut
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples Granny Smith and Galas are good, I used one of each
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil melted
- ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup almond milk you can use your preferred milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup walnuts
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 F.
- Line muffin tins with muffin liners that are sprayed with cooking spray.
- In a large bow add the brown sugar, eggs, melted coconut oil and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the milk, vanilla and when that is smooth add the apple chunks.
- In another bowl combine the oatmeal, cinnamon, baking powder, whey protein powder, salt and mix until combined. Mix in the walnuts. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.
- Fill the muffin cups to just below the top. As you scoop be sure to stir the ingredients so you get an even mix of oats and liquid in each muffin.
- Bake for 30- 35 minutes. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Cool completely before storing in sealed container. We wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and then freeze in a zip-lock bag.
- When ready to serve, remove the muffin paper and heat in microwave. They taste as if they were just baked.
Notes
If you're allergic to walnuts you may substitute almonds or eliminate the nuts entirely.
