Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 8 liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, grind the rolled oats into a fine flour-like consistency. Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon to the bowl, and whisk together until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or any additional add-ins of your choice.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
