Red Velvet Protein Muffins



When you have a bad sweet tooth like I do, you have to find healthier substitutes to make up for those donuts, muffins, and cinnamon buns that you would really like for breakfast. I found this recipe while I was browsing Instagram. These can also be made into donuts if you have a donut pan. And I suppose you could also call these cupcakes. Yum!
 
Ingredients
 
Muffins-
 
1 egg
1 egg white (1.5 Tablespoons liquid egg whites)
1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 Tablespoon stevia
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
1 teaspoon cocoa (I used dark cocoa)
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 cup oat flour (grind/grate old fashioned oats into 1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
 
Frosting-
 
2 Tablespoons cream cheese
1 Tablespoon vanilla protein powder
1/2-1 Tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring (optional)
 
Turn oven to 350 degrees. Add all muffin ingredients together and stir. Place 6 muffin liners in a muffin/cupcake tray. Spray the liners with coconut oil. Evenly distribute the muffin mixture into the 6 liners (about 2/3 of the way full). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Once the muffins are done and cooled, mix the frosting ingredients together and add to the top of your muffins.
Enjoy!
