Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Apple Cinnamon Protein Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin pan by spraying it lightly with oil or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the grated apples, egg whites, Greek yogurt, and honey until fully combined.
  4. Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, folding them together gently to form a smooth batter.
  5. Evenly divide the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Sprinkle diced apples on top of each muffin before placing them in the oven.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate.
