Say hello to my husband’s favourite protein bar/muffin yet! These protein bars/muffins are bursting with blueberry flavour. This is a healthy low carb twist on the classic blueberry muffin. Enjoy day 3 of my protein bar/muffin series.

*All these protein bar recipes can be made in a lightly greased 8 x 8 baking dish then cut into squares OR you can make them in muffin tins like I choose to. Either way they are delicious.

Blueberry Protein Bars (Blueberry Protein Muffins)

(made in muffin tins)

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Oat Flour *see notes below
• 2 Scoops Natural Protein Powder (plain whey works great)
• 6-8 Packets Stevia
• 2 Tbsp Lemon
• 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
• ½ Tsp Baking Soda
• ¼ Tsp Sea Salt
• 4 Egg Whites
• ½ Cup Water
• 1 Cup Pureed Blueberries *see notes below
• ½ Cup Plain Non Fat Greek Yogurt *See Greek Yogurt Tip below
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

Oat Flour Directions – To make oat flour simply take dry oatmeal and blend it until it is flour consistency.
Blueberry Puree Directions – Next puree blueberry using a blender or food processor. Make enough to have 1 cup of blueberry puree. Set to the side.

Tip: If you are running low on time or don’t want to puree your own fruit you can always buy jars of organic baby food. 8 oz of baby food in the jar is 1 cup of fruit.

*Greek Yogurt Tip – If you do not have Greek Yogurt on hand you can use non-fat or dry curd cottage cheese in its place (simply puree the cottage cheese first).

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix all dry ingredients together. Then mix in all wet ingredients. Stir until smooth and blended.
3. Lightly spray muffin tin with oil (extra virgin olive oil).
4. Place batter evenly in muffin tins.
5. Bake for 30 minutes (check them at the 20 minute mark and keep an eye on them for the last 10 minutes).
6. Remove from the oven, gently remove them from the tin and place on a cooling rack. These are very moist and fragile until they cool.
7. Once they cool they are firm and yummy! Place in a sealed container.

Notes:

*Makes 12 protein bars/muffins.
**Serving size for women is 2 (4 for men).
