I love these super moist and tender apple protein muffins. These yummy little snacks are protein-packed, 100% healthy, naturally sweetened with maple syrup (could be replaced with honey) and extra easy to make. They are the perfect on-the-go, clean eating breakfast or post-workout lunch. These are also gluten-free, dairy-free and can be made vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs or applesauce.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s been almost two weeks since my last post already! Wow! Life goes fast. It’s summer and boy… So many things to work on around the house!<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the blog, finally!<\/p>\n

I made these muffins last week. I needed some quick snacks while working hard outside the house. There are only 24 hours in a day (wish there was more!) and I needed to maximize my working time, so I didn’t really stop to have a proper lunch. These were little life savers!<\/p>\n

Healthy on-the-go breakfast and snack recipes like these blueberry protein\u00a0bars<\/a> are very popular around the house, they disappear pretty fast! So I always try to come up with new recipes to try to mix things up a little bit<\/p>\n

Why apples this time? Well, I simply had a bunch of apples which were about to turn bad, so making muffins was the perfect way to make the best use of them.<\/p>\n

Apple Protein Muffins<\/h2>\n

This recipe is 100% healthy, as always. They are made without using any unhealthy fats (close to being fat-free, actually!) and processed sugar-free.<\/p>\n

But what I prefer about them is actually their texture! Who knew they would get so cakey and moist while being entirely flourless? Clean eating recipes like these always puzzle me.<\/p>\n

I mean, why are people still baking with all-purpose flour?<\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

For this recipe, I seeded the apples and processed them, skin on, in a food processor for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

For a different texture, you could dice them, it’s all about personal preference.<\/p>\n

The top part of these muffins is totally kid-approved… My 2-year-old literally DEVOURED the top part of half of this batch.<\/p>\n

“Another one Daddyyyyy”<\/p>\n

Which type of protein powder should be used? Use the one you have on hand, really. As long as it is vanilla flavored or flavorless, it’ll do the trick.<\/p>\n

Happy baking!<\/p>\n
