I finally got back into the kitchen. I love to cook and bake, it’s very therapeutic. I have been thinking about healthier desserts or muffins I should say that don’t just added unnecessary calories. If you’re going to eat a delicious muffin (so good!), it may as well benefit you. If you’re at home and you are going to bake, you should make something healthy and packed with good stuff.
Here is a very easy recipe, I came up with this last week for you. It’s simple. I used Genuine Health’s Fermented Protein for these muffins. They’re really good! Seriously! Not too sweet, you are free add more honey (I used honey) or a sweetener you prefer. Don’t over do it though, they’re meant to be light and not packed with sugar. A great way to compliment a morning or afternoon latte.
I used an unflavoured protein, I think this is your best bet when baking with protein.
