Looking for a high protein breakfast or snack that comes in a sweet little package?
I felt like experimenting more with coconut flour this week since it’s such a great high fibre baking ingredient.
I decided to make some protein muffins to help recover after a workout, or to enjoy as a mid-day brain boosting snack. These muffins are packed with protein from eggs as well as a big scoop of protein powder.
The good news? They taste much more indulgent than a protein bar and so far have pleased some tough critics.
If you love the taste of coconut, these muffins are for you! Enjoy!
