Blueberry Chia Seed Protein Muffins

SERVING SIZE: 1 muffin

YIELDS: 6 servings

– 66g vanilla whey
– 28g coconut flour
– 12g chia seeds
– 5g cinnamon
– 18g light butter
– 60g unsweetened applesauce
– 1 egg
– 65g blueberries
– 1/4 tsp baking powder
– Stevia/Splenda to taste

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder as that does not bake well (turns recipes to a cardboard texture). Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is Devotion Nutrition brand. Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter slightly so that it is warm, but not hot (you don’t want it to accidentally cook the egg!)
3. Mix all ingredients together and add just a little water, until a muffin batter consistency is reached.
4. Spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and fill 6 cups about 3/4 full.
5. Sprinkle a dash of Stevia/Splenda and cinnamon on top of each muffin and/or drizzle with protein “icing” (protein powder + stevia + water).
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. Enjoy the Muffins!
