Dr. Oz Whey Protein Powder Muffins

I wanted to get a lot more protein in my morning muffins... so I did some web searching and found this recipe.
I am a big fan of Dr. Oz, so I decided to try these... they taste a lot like their Whey Protein ingredient, so you need to like the taste to enjoy them. To 'mask' the taste for my daughter and even more protein for both of us, we just added some peanut butter and warmed them up in the morning and they were delicious served that way.



Super Protein Muffins from Doctor Oz

Ingredients
3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp Stevia
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt


Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease 12-cup muffin tin.


In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, blend together the rest of the ingredients. Quickly incorporate the dry and wet mixtures and distribute into the prepared muffin tin.

Bake for 15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.(mine burned a little bit, so watch the time)

Muffins are about 200 calories and contain 15 grams of protein. Pretty good, I'd say!
