Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly coat with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gently add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the unsweetened almond milk, stirring until the batter is evenly moistened. The consistency should be thick but scoopable.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your high protein cinnamon muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
