Why You’ll Love Them

  • Made with whole oats for a satisfying texture

  • Boosted with apple pie protein for extra staying power

  • Lightly sweetened with honey or golden syrup

  • Easy one-bowl situation (we love minimal cleanup)

  • Freezer-friendly and perfect for batch baking

Method

  1. Preheat the oven.

    Set to 180°C and line or lightly grease a muffin tray.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients.

    In a large bowl, combine oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.

  3. Add the wet ingredients.

    Stir in the egg, chopped apple, almond milk and honey. Mix until evenly combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable.

  4. Fold in extras (if using).

    Gently mix through dark chocolate chips or berries for a little surprise in every bite.

  5. Spoon & top.

    Divide mixture evenly between muffin cases. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds or extra chocolate chips if desired.

  6. Bake.

    Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.

  7. Finish & enjoy.

    Allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with a little extra honey if you like things on the sweeter side.

Serve warm. Or pack for later. Either way, they disappear quickly.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat gently before serving.

FAQ - Apple Pie Protein Muffins

  • Yes. Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water, rested for 5 minutes) or your favourite egg substitute.

  • You can. The texture will be slightly softer and less chewy, but they’ll still hold together well.

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Stir until just combined to keep the texture lighter.

  • Absolutely. You can halve the honey or golden syrup if you prefer a more subtle sweetness.
