Recipe Note
Be sure to not overbake!! You can always put them back in for a little longer if you need. When baking with protein powders, you really need to watch them towards the end time. An extra couple of minutes can be the difference between perfect and overdone!
These are amazing right out of the oven with a little spread of butter. Muffins keep well the next day, but I usually pop them in the micro for about 20 seconds to reheat to get them soft and warm again.
These muffins are amazing by themselves, with coffee for breakfast, or as a perfect compliment to a nice lunch or dinner. Basically...they're amazing anytime! Happy Baking & Enjoy!
