Print Recipe

A healthier take on classic cinnamon rolls, these protein-packed muffins are soft, moist, and full of that warm cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup protein powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or lining with paper liners.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl: unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, eggs, and honey (or maple syrup).
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Add the chopped nuts and raisins, folding them in gently.
  7. Swirl a small bowl of cinnamon with honey or maple syrup into the batter using a toothpick.
  8. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full with the batter.
  9. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a smear of almond butter for added flavor.
