Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly coat with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Gradually pour in the unsweetened almond milk, stirring until the batter is evenly moistened. The consistency should be thick but scoopable.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein cinnamon muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
