Ingredients
- 150 grams Old-fashioned oats
- 60 grams Whey protein powder (vanilla flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 240 milliliters Applesauce (unsweetened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 80 milliliters Honey

- 1 medium, peeled, cored, and diced Apple
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts
- 30 grams Rolled oats (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts gently until evenly distributed.
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter to make the topping.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your High Protein Apple Crisp Muffins as a nutritious start to your day or a delicious snack anytime!
