Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Muffins (high fiber, low calorie, low carb, gluten free, vegetarian, high protein, & ready in 20 minutes or less)

image

These muffins aren’t the prettiest things but they are packed with yummy, healthy ingredients and are mega filling!!  Seriously I am a big eater and if I eat 2 I am not hungry for several hours 🙂  They taste really similar to bran muffins but they don’t have all the sugar that store made bran muffins are usually loaded with.  Also even if you are not a big fan of flax seeds I urge you to try these because the flax taste is barely noticeable-honestly I cannot even detect it.  Flax seeds have lots of fiber and healthy fat too!! These muffins are sweet and super spiced with cinnamon-yummy!!  They also have a really nicely balanced ratio of protein, fat, and carbs.  Store in the fridge for super easy grab and go breakfast or snacks.  To make these gluten free simply use the gluten free versions of all ingredients (It will throw off the nutrition info listed at the end a little but will still be a great healthy muffin!)

Ingredients:

2/3 cup dry oatmeal

2 scoops casein protein powder (vanilla preferred- you can use whey in place but it won’t be quite as good texture wise)

4 tablespoons cinnamon

1/4 cup (or 4 mini packs) flax

1/2 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 cup stevia (or another zero calorie sweetener of choice)

2 mini packs of raisins

7.5 tablespoons liquid egg whites or egg substitute

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

 

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl including raisins.

Mix wet ingredients in another bowl then add to dry and mix everything well.

Mixture will be thick and like a cookie dough texture.  Divide evenly between 6 muffin tins that were sprayed well with nonstick spray.

Bake for 15 minutes.  They will be dry on top but moist and very dense inside.  They taste really good with a little extra virgin coconut oil slathered on them 😉
