Strawberry Banana Protein Muffins

[janey]

I'm sure you can make this with any protein powder. These ones turned out really well.

1 cup oat bran (uncooked)
1 cup egg whites
1 cup cottage cheese (I used 2%)
1 scoop pp (I used NX Care strawberry banana 45g/scoop)

Edit: add cooking time 350 for 30 minutes.

I made 11 muffins.

those sound good!
how were they for taste?

[janey]

They were pretty good. If you like things sweeter, you could add some Splenda. It think they would be even better if you spread sf jam on top too.

I only had one so far but I could've easily ate the whole plate. :oops:

I'm going to try this recipe, they look awesome.

How'd you cook them? 350 degress for 20 minutes or so?

I just pulled these out of the oven, did 'em at 350 for 20 min.
They smell goooood.
Definitely packing one of these in my lunch bag for work this evening!

I did this recipe with vanilla protein powder and French Vanilla sugar free syrup. They came out pretty good. I am going to experiment with different flavors of protein powder and sugar free syrup. i also think adding some strawberries or blueberries, or some unsweetened applesauce would makes these taste even better.

I'll definately be making these! :drool:

I'm gonna add the berries and Splenda. I'll let you all know how they turn out. :)

[Blondell]

I have these in the oven now--I omitted the pp and added blueberries, splenda and cinnamon. We'll see how they are. The batter is really good! :p

[Blondell]

these were really good the way i made them--be sure to spray the pan/tin. :)

[Courtney]

These look gooooood. Thanks!

[Meliska]

These sound amazing! I'm going to try making them with my chocolate truffle PP!

Thanks!

Okay, I'm retarded.... Oat bran? Is that the same at rolled oats?

LOL! No, Oat Bran comes in a box in the cereal section. It's clean. You could probably use oats if you wanted them to have more texture. :)

Oh! Oat bran cereal. My grandma used to eat that stuff. Duh.

I just made these the other night. I used 1 cup oats insted of oat bran, the egg whites, 1 cup of 1% cottage cheese, and the GNC banana protein powder I had. It was about 1 1/2 scoops to get around 45g. I added a few chopped up strawberries, too. I used the hand blender and mushed it all up. I spooned it into mini muffin pans, and ended up with 32 little bundles of joy. I baked them for about 20-22 minutes. It came out to maybe 96 cals for 4. We put them in baggies and have them for mini meals.

I could have used some stevia, since they were a little bland. The hubby loves them though.

Thanks! I'll keep experimenting.

For those of us who are muffin-impaired, hwo exactly do you cook these things? Just mix everything up and pour it into a muffin mold? Or is there something else needed? (I keep thinking of bread and wondering if you need yeast or something like that...) :confused:

I just dumped the ingredients in a bowl and then used a hand blender to mix it up till the lumps were out. I sprayed the muffin tins with pam and poured it in. I thought there should be more to it, too!

[jrb1980]

Any thoughts on how to make them less dry? Maybe a little apple sauce???

[sparrow]

I think adding more apple sauce or possibly a mashed up banana to the recipe would make it less dry. A mashed banana would also work well as an egg substitute. I don't eat eggs, but I would love to try this recipe, so I'm going to try that out.

[scoopycat]

I am going to have to try these too.. Yumm... This forum has turned me domesticated. Very impressive .

[NoMoreFatDaddy]

Has anybody tried these with chocolate protein yet? I would like to try them but all I have is chocolate.
