Everyone loves muffins. They’re packed full of delicious carbs and make one satisfying breakfast. But you might notice that eating a muffin does not help your energy throughout the day because your body is missing protein.

If you want to make the most of your cravings for baked goods, try one of these protein muffin recipes. They’re made with Syntrax Matrix protein powder for up to 15 grams of protein per protein muffin. You’ll feel more satisfied and re-energized when you’re finished eating because your body is full of the energy it needs to get through the day.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, oat bran, baking powder, protein powder, and cocoa powder, just to combine. Pour the wet ingredient over the dry ingredients and stir together until the mixture is a thick, uniform batter. Add chocolate chips and stir to evenly distribute the chips in the batter.

Clean Eating Yam Protein Muffins

Not only do yams help your digestion, but they are a great source of vitamins.  Adding them to your daily snack can have huge nutritional benefits. Everyone loves a muffin, but these wont only satisfy your taste buds, but also all your body’s needs.

Ingredients:

3 cups mashed yams

6 egg whites

2 scoops vanilla Syntrax Matrix protein

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons all spice

1 teaspoons baking soda

pinch of salt

Directions:

Pierce 3-4 yams with a knife a few times and place in microwave for 10 minutes. Place cooked yams in mixer and mix until yams are mashed. The skin usually separates at this point and I take out about half the skin.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Place mixture in muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes at 350.

20 drops stevia extract

1/2 cup almond milk

1/4 cup Raspberry Chia Seed Jam or other sugar-free raspberry jam

Preheat oven to 325F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add granulated erythritol and beat until lighter and well-combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at time. Beat in almond and stevia extracts. Beat in half of the almond flour mixture, then beat in almond milk. Beat in remaining almond flour mixture until well combined.  Fill each muffin cup to about 1/3 full with batter and create a small well in the center of each. Spoon 1 tsp raspberry jam into well, then top with remaining muffin batter.  Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until tops is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 5 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
