Protein Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Servings: 9 muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup nut or seed butter
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the nut or seed butter, unsweetened applesauce, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is thoroughly mixed and there are no dry pockets.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown and slightly springy to the touch.
- While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency.
- Once the muffins have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the tops. Feel free to get creative with your drizzle patterns!
