Fresh Raspberry Lemon Protein Muffins

This recipe is adapted from fitness model Jamie Eason's homemade protein bar recipe.  She has a variety of protein bar recipes available online at bodybuilding.com that are delicious.  I made these "Legalicious" with a few yummy tweaks.  Enjoy!


Serves: 12
Calories: 63 per muffin

1 C oat flour (I blend mine from the Old Fashioned Quaker Oats I buy at Costco.. much cheaper :) )
3 scoops unflavored (or vanilla) Any Whey protein powder (I buy mine on netrition.com)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 qt Crystal Light Lemonade mix
1/2 C stevia
1 tsp raspberry extract (optional)
4 egg whites or 8 Tbsp liquid egg whites
1 C unsweetened applesauce
1/2 C water
36 fresh raspberries (3 per muffin)

Preheat your oven to 350°.  
Whisk all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  Add remaining wet ingredients and mix 
again.  Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, making sure to thoroughly coat each muffin 
cup.  Carefully pour mixture into muffin cups, evenly distributing the batter between the 
cups the best you can.  Bake for 2 minutes, remove muffin tin, add 3 raspberries per muffin
cup, and return pan to the oven for 14-18 more minutes.  I do 14, but I like mine on the 
doughier side ;).  Remove from oven, let cool, and eat within 5 days.  These are so 
portable, good warm or cold.  Yum!
