Blueberry muffins via Zone

To help inspire me, my boyfriend got me the Zone cookbook. Typically, I am not a big fan of cook books and like to come up with my own idea and recipes, but in this case I thought that referring to the experts may be better.

I decided to make some blueberry muffins per the Zone recipe. After reviewing the recipe, I made a few alterations and here's my creation & recipe:

- each muffin will contain 1bl of protein/fat/carb
Time:

  • Prep time: 10min

  • Bake time: 20-24min

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups of oat flour (you can find it at whole foods)

  • 4 1-ounce scoops of vanilla whey protein ( I used Whey Cool brand)

  • 1 tbls of non-aluminum baking powder (you can find it at whole foods)

  • 4 eggs

  • 5 1/3 of oil ( I used almond oil)

  • 2/3 cups unsweetened apple sauce

  • 3tsp of vanilla syrup ( original recipe calls for 8 teaspoons of syrup)

  • 1 cup of fresh blueberries

Directions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350

  • Place cupcake paper cups in sheet ( I like to use the cupcake paper cups instead of greasing the sheet)

  • Mix all of the ingredients, except for blueberries ( I recommend mixing the dry and than adding the wet ingredients)

  • Mix it with a mixer than add blueberries

  • Use a spoon to pour mixer on to the sheet

  • Bake for 20-24min
