Peanut Butter Protein Muffins with Solgar Spoonfuls!

Okay, we all know my excessive love for peanut butter. Being able to discover and use more recipes that allow me the honor of scooping a whole bunch into it makes me happy. Since I have also been focusing on my fitness, I have been eating a lot of protein-filled foods. So what better way to bring the two together than a peanut butter protein muffin? Today, I’m showing you how I currently make my protein muffins! I love eating these for breakfast in the morning to keep me full and full of energy! *This post is sponsored by Solgar Spoonfuls, but all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. 

Solgar Spoonfuls makes it easy to add a plant-based source of protein to your diet every day! I absolutely love having it in the morning for breakfast because I find myself to get hungry and cranky by mid morning if I don’t eat something satisfying. It only has 50 calories per scoop, but the protein it adds is so worth it!

For this recipe you’re going to need:

• 1 scoop of protein powder. I used Solgar Spoonfuls Chocolate Coconut and it was amazing! I thought the coconut would shine through but it was just this chocolate heaven!
• 3/4 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of baking soda
• 1/2 cup of peanut butter
• 1 mashed ripe banana
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/4 cup of maple syrup
• 1/3 cup of non-dairy milk
• 1 TBS of flax meal & 3 TBS of water
• 2/3 cups of quick oats

First, preheat the oven to 375ºF and spray your tin with cooking spray. Combine the flax meal and 3 tbsp of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes. In a blender, I blended the quick oats a little finer so it wouldn’t be a weird texture. Transfer to a bowl and add dry ingredients. In a larger bowl, I used an electric hand mixer to mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, banana, and flax egg until completely mixed. Then I added the dry ingredients and mixed again until everything was combined.

I poured the batter into the tins and it makes about 6 muffins for me! I baked it for 12-15 minutes until a knife came out clean when pierced into a muffin. Once done, ALLOW THEM TO COOL TRUST ME. They WILL fall apart if you don’t give them a chance to cool down. I added some bananas and walnuts on top and it’s all done!
