These muffins are heavenly smelling when they come out of the oven and taste even better. Light protein filled batter, lemon zest and sour but sweet raspberries, these are the perfect breakfast or snack.
Ingredient Notes and Health Benefits
Oat Flour: You can actually make your own by grinding oats, or you can buy oat flour premade. I simply prefer to just grind my oats because I consume oats more than I require oat flour!
Raspberries: You can use fresh or frozen. I used frozen in this recipe. Raspberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants and minerals.
Lemon Juice and Zest: Lemon contains a lot of Vitamin C and also helps digest food.
Protein Powder: I prefer to use a dairy-free protein powder, but any will work. Lately I’ve been using the Jay Robb egg-white protein powder.
