We have switched from Stevia in the raw to 1/2 t of pure Stevia extract which is also equivalent to 1/2 C of sugar. It costs more per oz, but as you can see, a little goes a LONG way! We buy Mood & Mind brand from Amazon.
Muffins last about 5 to 6 days in refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer. Experiment with different flavors of protein powder. It doesn’t have to be 2:1 vanilla and chocolate!
You can also substitute Lily chocolate chips instead of fruit to make a very kid friendly version that it still pretty healthy! use 1/2 cup of lily choc chips and a few to top each muffin. Add 3 extra points per muffin on WW when adding choc chips.
4 Smart Points Per Muffin (blue and green plan on WW) and 1 SP for Purple plan
Recipe looks good I may try it sometime.
Hi Carrie,
your recipe as written says baking soda, but on your youtube video your using baking powder. So my question is, is it baking powder or soda?
It should be baking powder not soda. Good catch.
There isn’t enough acidity in the recipe for baking soda to work well.
The recipe has been fixed and now correctly says, “baking powder”. Thanks again.
Recipe is tasty but I couldn’t find it on the WW app so when I loaded in the nutritional facts that you provided into the WW calculator it stated that it is 7 sp vs the 4 sp that you stated. Did you not have my same problem?
You’ll want to add it as a recipe instead of using the nutrition facts. When you go with straight nutrition details, it doesn’t count the 0-point foods correctly. The same thing is true for other foods that contain 0-point ingredients. In fact, most 0-point foods will calculate as having points if you go directly from the nutrition info.
sorry maybe a dumb question but thought I’d ask anyway. I was wondering what is the reasoning for using 3 scoops of protein powder, or protein powder in general
Extra protein and extra flavor (vanilla and chocolate.) The protein helps you feel full longer. Most of the flavored protein powders also have some sweetener.
You wouldn’t HAVE to include the powder at all, but may need to play with the amount of oats to get the consistency you want.
My husband has half of one for breakfast with coffee. That’s it. Filling and delicious! For him I use Pb protein powder and PB2. Omit cinnamon. I have also exchanged sugar free cherry pie mix for bananas. Thank you DIL! You made your FIL very happy at breakfast time. Really fits in his diabetic diet!
So good will make again, The only thing I did different was that I used mixed berry protein powder.
Thanks for all you do I enjoy your U2 station and your recipe. Will try more of your recipes in the future. I have printed out the cashew chicken and would like to make it this weekend.
Thanks once again Gina
I love these muffins! I made 17 regular sized muffins (1 SP each or 2 for 3 SP) instead of 6 jumbo ones. I didn’t have any vanilla or chocolate protein powder so I substituted Quest Cinnamon Crunch powder. So delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Ooooo. We have Cinnamon Crunch powder. Hmmm. We may have to try that.
Greetings! I’ve been reading your website for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Lubbock Texas! Just wanted to mention keep up the excellent work!
