First Post and ChocoNanaNutter Protein Muffins

Those that know me KNOW I love breakfast, and for that being my favorite meal while being the most important meal of the day comes hand in hand. Recently with becoming passionate about clean eating, I've learned about the several different substitutes and tricks that we could use while baking. One of my favorite tricks is making my own flour ..out of oats! Great whole grains turned into a baking staple. I make my oat flour from both organic steel cut oats and rolled oats.

And on that note, I said I would post a recipe for my Choco-Nana-Butter Protein Muffins the other day and the reason I took so long was because of this blog. I wanted it to be the intro to my new life project. Karmesan Cheese. I hope you all enjoy and I'd love any feedback! And last but not least, here is the recipe! 




DRY INGREDIENTS

1 cup of flour (made of steel cut oats, ground up using coffee grinder)
1 1/4 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of Hershey's special dark cocoa powder
1/4 cup of flaxseed meal (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 scoop of chocolate Whey powder (I use About Time, all natural!)
3 tablespoons of brown sugar

WET INGREDIENTS 

4 egg whites
4 tablespoons of plain Chobani
1 tablespoon of agave nectar
2 mashed bananas
1/3 cup of almond milk


Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. 
Then, mix wet ingredients in with the dry. When the ingredients are properly combined, spoon into muffin top pans or regular muffin pans. Bake at 350°F for 25-30min.

Top with peanut butter and enjoy!
