Ingredients
· Baking or cooking spray
· 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
· 2 cups almond milk
· 3 eggs, lightly beaten
· Zest of one lemon, optional
· 1/2 cup sugar replacement
· 1/2 cup protein powder (I used Premier Protein Vanilla) (see notes)
· 1Tbsp baking powder
· 1/2 tsp salt
· 1 small apple or banana, cut into small cubes (see notes)
· 1/2 cup berries of your choice, cut to about the size of blueberries if necessary (see notes)
Topping (optional)
· 2 Tbsp brown sugar replacement (see notes)
· 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan very well with baking spray. In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients, if using, and set aside.
2. Combine the oats and almond milk. Mix well and allow to sit about 10 minutes.
3. Add the beaten eggs and zest, if using, into the oatmeal. Combine well, then add in the sugar replacement, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
4. Pour the batter into the muffin cups. Scatter the fruit on top of each muffin, dividing evenly. Sprinkle on the topping, if using.
5. Place in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the middle muffins comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan 5-10 minutes before removing them from the pan and placing on a cooling rack until completely cooled.
Notes
· Change up the fruit as you like, just make sure they are all cut into small pieces.
· If you want to use zest, but lemon zest isn’t for you or doesn’t go with the fruit you’re using, use orange or lime zest instead.
· You can use up to 4 tsp of real sugar (turbinado would be great!) for the topping and not alter the bites/points.
· You can swap out the protein powder for flour, but it will slightly affect the bites/points.
