's Magic Muffins

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to chime in about this muffin recipe. I tried it over the

weekend - and it's very good. I use just over 1/3 cup boxed plain

eggwhites rather than the water (the egg 'sets' well) and I decrease the

protein powder (since I'm getting protein from the eggs). I think, if I

were pressed for time, I'd make little 'muffin kits' of the dry

ingredients, and just add the liquid & fruit when I'm ready to cook it.

Enjoy -

to use one scoop of Myopro Whey (instead of 4 1/2 Tbsp) and 1/3 cup of

oats. My fiance uses 1/2 cup each of whey and oats. He adds splenda,

extracts (vanilla, almond, or butter nut), sometimes cocoa, and it tastes

like chocolate cake.

" Magic " Microwave Muffins

Very quick and easy microwave muffin recipe for those of you who love

bready things…this recipe makes ONE very large muffin that is a complete

BFL meal.

Ingredients: (Basic muffin)

4 1/2 T. protein powder (chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry)

4 1/2 T. oatmeal (can be whole or ground)

1/4 tsp. baking soda

2-3 packets of Splenda to taste

1/2 c. water (Cut this down to 1/3 c. if your muffin comes out too mushy,

overflows your cooking container, or if you add fruit.)

Optional Add-ins–mix and match

Fruit: 1/4 c. fruit fresh or frozen (peaches, cherries, strawberries,

blueberries, mixed berries all work well)

Nuts: 1 T. ground almonds or walnuts

Flavoring: 1/2 t. cocoa (to boost chocolate flavored protein powder) or 1/2

t. vanilla or almond extract (to boost vanilla or strawberry protein powder)

­­­­­­

Preparation:

1. Mix all of the Basic Muffin ingredients together in a 2-3 cup glass or

ceramic container (I use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup.) Plastic causes the

mix to heat up too quickly and overflow.

2. If you want to add a bit of texture, flavor, and healthy fat, you

can mix and match ingredients from the optional Add-ins area, but don't

choose

more than one item from each category. Stir in your extra ingredients.

3. Microwave the mix for 2 minutes on high. The " muffin " will climb the

sides of the container, so you might want to put a plate underneath

it. (n's note - depending on the fruit, you might need an additional

30-60 seconds)

4. Wait for the muffin to cool and deflate to normal size. Ignore the

lopsided look of the muffin and dig in. Enjoy!
