Recipe adapted from Tone It Up (Makes 10 muffins)
2 1/2 cups vanilla or chocolate protein (I prefer brown rice and I specifically use Perfect Fit)
1 1/2 cups egg whites
3 Tbs walnuts, crushed
2 Tbs ground flaxseed
3/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened
1/2 cup blueberries
1 banana, mashed
1/4 cup applesauce, no sugar added
2 Tbs coconut oil
1 1/2 Tbs cinnamon
3 tsp baking powder
pinch of sea salt
Combine liquid ingredients in large bowl and mix well. Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients stirring constantly. Add more almond milk if needed for a smooth thick consistency. Carefully fold blueberries into mixture without mashing. Spray cupcake wrappers lightly with fat-free cooking spray and place in muffin pan (I used the silicon cups and it was super easy!!) Scoop batter into cups. Unlike traditional muffins, these won't rise. So overfill to get the rounded top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or util a toothpick comes out clean!
For 21 Day Fixers: I would say 1 muffin is 1 red, and maybe 1/4 purple?! 1 banana and 1/2 cup blueberries over 10 muffins isn't much :) I usually just say 1 red and roll with it, but you could count for the purple if you are a stickler :)
Enjoy!
