Ingredients

For the Muffins

  • 2 scoops 62g PEScience Select Protein Powder, vanilla
  • 1/2 C 60g Oat Flour*
  • 1/4 C 30g Almond Flour
  • 2 Tbsp 24g Swerve Granular (or granulated sugar)
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt or 1/8 tsp table salt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 C 120mL Almond Milk (or your choice of milk)
  • 1/4 C 60g Unsweetened Apple Sauce

For the Streusel

  • 1/4 C 30g Chopped Walnuts
  • 2 Tbsp 10g Rolled Oats
  • 2 Tbsp 24g Swerve Brown (or brown sugar)
  • 2 Tbsp 28g Light Butter

For the Glaze

  • 1/4 C 36g Swerve Confectioners (or powdered sugar)
  • 3-4 tsp Water

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 350F and place 9 silicone baking cups on a baking sheet or spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Mix the dry ingredients for the muffins together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and apple sauce together before adding to the dry ingredients. Stir the muffin batter until smooth.
  • Fill each baking cup 3/4 full with the muffin batter. Set aside.
  • Add the butter, walnuts, oats, and Swerve brown to another bowl and stir together before adding to the top of each baking cup.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool.
  • For the glaze, mix the Swerve confectioners and water together and drizzle over the top of the cooled muffins.

Notes

*If you're concerned with cross contamination, be sure to buy dedicated gluten free oat flour or whole grain oats to make your own oat flour.
