Maple-Walnut Protein Muffins

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly coat cups with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, add egg whites, butter, maple syrup, and milk. Use a fork to mix well.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, add flour, wheat germ, oat bran, protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Combine with a spatula.

4. 4

   Using the spatula, add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring only until the dry ingredients are moistened. When there's just a trace of visible flour, gently fold in the walnuts.

5. 5

   Divide batter among 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each cup three-fourths of the way full.

6. 6

   Bake until toasty brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.

7. 7

   Let muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to fully cool before serving. Store remaining muffins in an airtight container.
