Apple Oats Protein Muffins

Now because I am sure someone is inevitably going to ask me for the macros, here they are. Each muffin has 137 calories, 19 grams of carbs, 4 g of fat, and 7g of protein. I usually eat one with a side of berries, or if I’m really active and on the go I’ll have two for a snack. They’re also really good with a dollop of protein nut butter spread on top.

Although my body building friends adore these, these gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free muffins also make great allergy-friendly snacks for kid’s lunch boxes. Plus, with minimal sugar and lots of fibre, a good dose of protein and some healthy fats they provide long-lasting energy for active kids with the fuel they need to thrive.
