Protein First: Apple Jacked Muffins

Protein First: Apple Jacked Muffins
A Higher Protein, 110-Calorie, Sweet Bite
Muffins are usually deceiving. They’re just less-good cupcakes with tons of calories. NOT THESE. See for yourself.

Muffins don’t typically contain much protein, and they’re usually so packed with sugar and garbage that you might as well just eat a candy bar.

Google the words “apple cinnamon muffin + calories,” and the first store-bought thing that pops up contains 520 calories, 61 grams of carbs, 29 grams of fat, and 6 grams of protein.

With shreds of actual apple popping out and a few scoops of protein, the macros for these are 8 grams of protein, 19 grams of carbs, and a single gram of fat. And there’s only 110 calories per muffin. Not bad for a dessert, right?

If you want to up the protein, just eat them alongside a plate of scrambled eggs. Or have it as a sweet bite after you’ve already eaten a protein-packed dinner.
