INGREDIENTS (serves 6):
MUFFINS
- 1 cup (4 scoops) 20/20 Vanilla Fiber/Protein Powder
- 1/3 cup milled flax seed
- 1/3 cup wheat bran
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds or basil seeds
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp stevia (optional)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 6 egg whites
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tsp coconut oil
FILLING
- 2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 2 Tbsp (1/2 scoop) 20/20 Vanilla Fiber/Protein Powder
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp stevia (optional)
STREUSEL TOPPING
- 12 pecan halves
- Stevia for sprinkling (optional)
PREPARATIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a standard sized 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray (recipe yields 12 large muffins). Set aside.
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix all wet muffin ingredients together, including the banana. Pour dry ingredients in and whisk until a well combined, lump-free batter is formed.
- Fill prepared muffin tins 1/3 full with the muffin batter. This should only use about half of the batter. Set remaining batter aside.
- Combine filling ingredients in small bowl with fork. Divide filling mixture among muffins, layering on top of batter in tin.
- Pour remaining batter in muffin tins, filling each cup ¾ of the way full.
- Place pecan half on each muffin, and sprinkle stevia if using. Place in oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown.
