Protein muffins. The recipe for delicious and healthy muffins (muffins) with protein
I signed up to run a marathon in April. It is 42 km. That is, to the fig. I have an extra weight of 10 kg, and I don’t smile at all to drag it for 42 km, and without it I would have run ... This means I have to lose weight.
I am often asked how to make a cake that is flour, sugar, butter, nuts, gluten and lactose free and tastes as good as real. I turn into a beast in response. Why not ask me how to teleport? Or how to travel faster than the speed of light? And at the same time how to change the gravity, otherwise 9.8 is too much, the chest sags. My approach to diet desserts is: eat a small bite of the real tasty and move around a little more.
But sometimes - rarely! - happen diet desserts, which have a right to exist. For some reason, they are all based on protein powder :-)) So it was with protein ice cream and with this cupcake too. There is no sugar, no flour, no carbohydrates, only proteins and it takes one minute to cook. Well, why not like it :-))
A serving of 20 g of protein, virtually no carbs and 200 calories. Consider that you have eaten a pack of cottage cheese. If the cottage cheese is already coming out of your ears, then such a cupcake is quite for itself. And you gorge yourself on cupcake for some reason much better than liquid protein shake... Although the composition is almost the same.
So, you will need:
- 1 scoop of your favorite protein (no more than 23 g protein)
- 1 tbsp coconut, almond, or at worst regular flour
- 0.5 tsp baking powder (1g)
- about 50 ml of milk
First, mix all dry ingredients in a mug, then gradually dilute with milk until smooth. Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute. This is, in short.
Now for the details.
Coconut flour seems to be sold in a flavor, almond flour is sold in large supermarkets. You can also grind nuts or coconut.
If you have more than 23 grams of protein in your protein, use less, otherwise the cake may turn out to be rubbery. The best protein for baking is soy protein, as whey has a rubbery consistency. If you like the cupcake, then it makes sense to buy some soy protein and cook everything on it.
By proportions. It is difficult to measure half a spoonful of baking powder. I have a set of measuring spoons, it's easier for me. but also got bored. If you like the cupcake and are going to make it often, then prepare the mixture in advance:
- 300 g protein
- 100 g coconut, nut or plain flour
- 10 g baking powder
Mix everything and put in a jar. Pour 40 g from there into a mug and dilute with milk. Recently, I have not measured milk at all, I dilute it by eye to the consistency of a pancake dough.
About the mug. For this amount, you need a mug of at least 400 ml. Everything will come out of the smaller mug! Measure directly how much you have in your mug.
Now about baking. You will need to experiment with how long your protein is baked in your microwave and your mug. It will be different for everyone. Start at 1 minute. The cupcake should rise, and when you turn off the microwave, it should settle slightly. If the cake is dry and rubbery, bake it. If it is too liquid, it is not baked. From experience I will say - a little liquid is better than dry and rubber. Also keep in mind that it reaches a little more in a mug. You need to achieve a delicate soft consistency.
Now about the variety. As much as you love your protein, you will get bored of eating the same taste. Therefore, the options for you are:
- Chocolate. add 10 g of dark cocoa and a teaspoon of brandy instead of flour. It will taste like a potato cake.
2. Berry. Add to vanilla cake a handful of berries. If the berries are frozen, you will have to cook the cake longer, experiment.
3. Apple cider. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry mixture, and cut a quarter of the apple into a mug of dough into small cubes. Beforehand, it is better to bake the apple a little: a minute and a half in the microwave, and the apple will soften enough to be soft and tender in the muffin. You can also crush an orange or tangerine into a cupcake.
4. Lemon. Add freshly grated lemon peel... Special lemon lovers can replace some of the milk with lemon juice, or add lemon Kurd... You can do the same with orange, lime and grapefruit.
5. Nutty. Add 1 tsp. any nut paste (urbecha). The tasteville sells coconut. peanut, almond and cashew. You can also buy Urbech on the Internet. My favorite flavor, of course, is hazelnut. Please note that the addition of nuts will increase the calorie content.
6. Ginger. Grate 1 tsp. fresh ginger, dissolve in milk and strain. Then use the ginger milk for the dough as usual.
7. Caramel. Buy a Calorie Free Sports caramel sauce at a sports nutrition store and pour it over a cupcake.
8. Banana. Puree a third of one banana and knead the dough on it. Dilute with milk to the consistency of a pancake dough.
9. On sour cream. A little more calories, but with sour cream, all the baked goods are tastier. Replace milk with sour cream.
10. Coffee Replace the milk with freshly brewed delicious coffee.

Girls, hello everyone! Apparently my hands do not grow from there. I made these muffins strictly according to the recipe; I added baking powder to sifted flour, from berries, frozen blueberries. Paper molds. Everything has risen, oh, how! They have become so dark, I sit rejoicing, I think from blueberries, but they burned out. And only on top, like a hard shell, covered with a crust, the insides are so perforated, but moist, like a custard cake. What sin, I have an electric stove, antediluvian, I will not get used to it, but I set the temperature lower. Or did my mother bring me flour Big, is it not suitable for baking at all? In short, I'm in disarray, this is not the first failure. ] But my daughter was 8 months old and liked it very much, she made a lot of noise when I took away
Take a look at the photo.
Well, I didn't calm down, for the purity of the experiment I changed the ingredients: instead of proteins I added whole eggs (the portion was reduced by 3 times, I'm afraid), I took 2/3 rye flour and 1/3 white wheat flour, I know that it is not ours, but this is an experiment ... They turned out, although they also burned a little, but inside are good so delicious... I tried - I have only partially switched to Monty, I train.
I signed up to run a marathon in April. It is 42 km. That is, to the fig. I have an extra weight of 10 kg, and I don’t smile at all to drag it for 42 km, and without it I would have run ... This means I have to lose weight.

Hey! It's been a long time since I was here) That session, then something else. In the morning you will get up before dawn, in the evening you already fall asleep. Sound familiar? But today I have a little strength. Just a little. These Banana Protein Muffins are just enough. They are very simple. The only nuance is very ripe bananas. Everyone has bananas in the initial stage of rotting. Or not in the initial one)) Here they are, covered with black specks, and we need it! Completely rotten, of course, will not work. And with spotted it turns out more fragrant. So…
Main ingredients
Earlier, I posted a similar one. But this one is easier. And accordingly, it is faster in preparation.
We put the oven at 200C
1. First, we mash the bananas with a fork. This will be easy if the bananas are ripe. Pour in the ground oatmeal. Beat one egg and add some cinnamon.
Bananas, egg, oatmeal, cinnamon
2. Stir. Add protein. Mix again.
Added protein
3. We break up next egg and mix again.
Ready mix for muffins
4. Pour into molds. I poured it to the brim. And the muffins rise a lot) So it is necessary to pour less. I waited for them for 17 minutes and seconds. Then I left it on a little bit in the turned off oven. If you pour less, I think their cooking time will be exactly 15 minutes.
Enjoy your tea!
