Chocolate Coconut Protein Muffins

I've had a lot of requests to get this posted, so here it is!  These are chocolaty and so delicious!  They do not seem legal, but I assure you they are ;)


Serves: 12
Calories per muffin: 72

Ingredients:
1 C oat flour
2 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Organic High Fiber Coconut Flour
3 scoops unflavored Any Whey protein powder (or the protein powder of your choice)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 C stevia (or baking sweetener of your choice)
3 Tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa 
4 Tbsp Reduced Fat Unsweetened shredded coconut (Found this at Whole Foods)
4 egg whites or 8 Tbsp liquid egg whites
1 C unsweetened applesauce
1/2 C water
2 tsp coconut extract (adjust to your liking :) )

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk dry ingredients together, then add remaining ingredients, and whisk together again.  Spray a muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray.  Evenly pour the batter into each of the 12 muffin cups.  Bake for 16-24 minutes, depending on your oven and desired consistency.  I like mine on the doughy side, but they hold together and are a bit more portable when cooked longer.  My mom likes to eat these muffins in a bowl with a sugar free pudding on top (so yum!), so if you're feeling the need to frost them, maybe you'll like them that way!  Let me know what you think!
