High protein blueberry muffins

Each muffin yields about 180 calories, 4g of fat, 12g protein, 20g carbohydrate and only 2g of sugar. These are a yummy treat and a great alternative to the high fat, high sugar muffins found in most cafes and bakeries. Wrap them individually and pop them in the freezer to microwave later for an on-the-go snack.




Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of rolled oats
1 1/2 cups of wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 scoops of vanilla protein powder (90g)
3 whole eggs
4 egg whites
200g extra light Philadelphia cream cheese
1/4 cup of blueberries (fresh, frozen or tinned)
1 tsp Stevia (or other sweetener)


Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and lightly spray some non-stick muffin trays with some olive oil.
- Using a hand-held electric mixer, combine eggs, egg whites, cream cheese, protein powder and sweetener.


- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour and baking powder.
- Fold the flour into the wet mixture, then add the blueberries. Do not over mix.
- Pour the mixture into the muffin trays and bake for 18-20 minutes.
