Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oats (left whole)
- 1 cup gluten-free oats (ground)
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder (I used Less Naked Whey Vanilla Protein)
- 2 large apples (shredded)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp 100% pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
Servings: muffins
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Prepare a muffin pan with paper muffin cups (for essentially no clean up) or grease with an oil high in monounsaturated fats, like avocado oil.
- 3. Leave one cup of gluten-free oats whole, and grind the other cup into a fine flour using a food processor, or high-powered blender.
- 4. Core and seed the apples, leaving the skin on. Then shred them using a box grater.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- Fill 12 muffin cups with the batter to the top of each cup.
- Bake in oven for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out clean when done.
- Cool completely.
