LOW CARB HIGH FIBER HIGH PROTEIN MUFFINS



Low Carb High Fiber High Protein Muffins image

*Update - this recipe is genuinely terrible. Apologies to anyone who tried to make this. I don't know what's missing, but as it's listed here, it doesn't work! I'd delete it if I could. Don't waste your time* These healthy little muffins have no sugar added. They're a great healthy snack but don't expect a sweet cakey treat. They're a great way to get extra fiber and protein into your diet without too many added calories or carbs. To sweeten them you can add some jam or peanut butter when you eat it. You can also add dried cranberries or other fruit or use sweetned yogurt or 1/4 of honey. Because there's no flour these don't rise that much. The cream of tartar and baking soda can be substituted with 1 tablespoon baking powder.

HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH FIBER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



High Protein, High Fiber Blueberry Muffins image

This is my own recipe that I've been playing around with. There's quite a bit of soy flour in it, so if you're not a fan of the flavour then cut it in half and add more whole wheat flour. You can use whatever fresh, frozen or dried fruit you like. I'm allergic to corn, so I use cream of tartar and baking soda. If you'd prefer to use baking powder just replace the tartar and soda with 1 Tbsp of baking powder. These are a not-too-sweet, healthy muffin with a slightly nutty flavour from the soy and flax. Don't expect a really sweet, cakey muffin.

MORNING FIBER AND PROTEIN MUFFINS



Morning Fiber and Protein Muffins image

Nobody EVER believes what these are actually made of. My dad thought they were cinnamon-carrot muffins with cream cheese icing by the smell and my mom gobbled 3 out of the pan before they were cool enough for me to remove! Regardless, these muffins are REALLY high in both fiber and protein and low in fat which makes them the ultimate breakfast-on-the-go food! Made with fruit rooibos tea as I make them, these muffins also pack a powerful morning antioxidant!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups Fiber One cereal
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup applesauce (or one little pot)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4-1 cup tea (or water or skim milk)
3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese (or yogurt)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl combine the applesauce, tea, and cereal and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Cereal should start to feel heavy and squishy.
  • In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer on a low-to-medium speed mix the cereal mixture until it is fairly mushy, much like the consistancy of mashed potatoes. If you are shorter on time or your hand mixer gets bogged down, try throwing the lot in the blender or food processor.
  • Add the ground flax and mix well.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and blend well.
  • Add the remaining ingredients one by one leaving the cottage cheese until last. Mix well. Batter should be thick and fairly lumpy with a fibrous texture.
  • Transfer batter to muffin pans and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes Adjust time according to humidity and altitude (+/- 5 minutes. As an indication, in the summer (humid/hot) in Toronto (elevation 600ft) I bake these for 22-23 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of flours. This will give your muffins a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include oat flour, almond flour, and coconut flour.
  • Add some protein powder. This is a great way to boost the protein content of your muffins and make them more filling.
  • Use Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. These ingredients are high in protein and will help to keep your muffins moist.
  • Add some fruit or vegetables. This will add sweetness, flavor, and nutrients to your muffins.
  • Use a muffin pan that has been greased or lined with paper liners. This will prevent the muffins from sticking.

Conclusion:

High-fiber, high-protein muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of muffins that are both nutritious and delicious.
