Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. If you are using liners, spray the liners as well to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, eggs, and maple syrup. Mix until combined and smooth.
Measure in the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and mix until smooth. If you are using any add-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, etc, fold them in now.
Divide the batter between 10 muffin cavities and bake for 15-20 minutes. The edges should slightly pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire rack to fully cool. Enjoy!
Store leftover muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

I use a plant-based vanilla protein powder which is dominantly pea protein. That said, I tested this recipe with whey and whey isolate, both of which worked beautifully.
