Chocochip Gingerbread P-uffins (protein muffins)

Saturday 7 December 2013


This is my favourite kind of recipe. The kind that uses few utensils which makes for easy clean up, and the kind that is so super delicious! Healthy gingerbread protein muffins aka puffins, but with chocolate chips! Super low fat and high protein. 

Moist and delicious interior. 

Another addition to my Christmasy recipes :-) As always, hope you guys try this out!

Please remember to measure with measuring spoons where needed. Oat flour is oats blended into a flour. 

Makes 6 puffins.

What you'll need
30g vanilla protein powder (I used Tera's whey)
30g oats (I used instant quaker oats)
40g oat flour 
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

2 egg whites
170g non fat greek yoghurt ( tub of fage)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1/2 tbsp grated ginger

30g cacao nibs
20g chocolate chips 

How to
1. Mix dry ingredients together. 
2. Beat wet ingredients. 
3. Pour wet into dry and mix together well. 
4. Fold in cacao nibs and chocolate chips. 
Preheat oven to 180C
5. Line your cupcake/muffin pan with paper liners and lightly grease the paper liners. Divide batter equally between paper liners. Bake for about 25min. Cool slightly before removing from pan. 

Ps: when I ate these fresh out of the oven the muffin kind of stuck to the paper, but somehow, after keeping it in the fridge and reheating it later, it didn't stick anymore lol
